With the start of the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh Rugby League season fast approaching, the competition has been dealt a major blow with the Trangie Rams indicating that they will not be fielding any teams this year!
A few weeks ago, the Rams gave notice they would not have a Ladies League Tag side this year, as did the Coonabarabran Unicorns, but while the Unicorns will be fielding a first-grade side this season after sitting out last year, Trangie has now announced they will not be taking the field in any grade.
Their withdrawal has sent Castlereagh officialdom into a frenzy as they scramble to arrive at a solution for what now becomes a very complex situation in regard to the 2023 competition draw….full report in this week’s edition out now!
