The Dunedoo Swanettes started their 2025 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League campaign in a winning fashion, when they took out the season opening League Tag Knockout played at Baradine.
With all 10 clubs represented on the day 14 games had to be played before the Swanettes (pictured above, Photo: Peter Sherwood Photography) emerged as eventual winners, taking down their arch rivals the Narromine Jets (8-4) in a hard fought and entertaining final.
The four points scored by the Jets in the final was the only blemish on the Swanettes defensive record for the day as they had previously accounted for Coolah Kangaroos (10-0) and Cobar Roosters (22-0).
The Jets, the reigning Castlereagh League premiers, were also impressive on the defensive front, holding out a determined Gulgong Bull Terriers outfit (4-0) before downing Coonamble Bears (24-0) on their way to the final.
The Castlereagh League Knockout action will continue on Saturday (12 April) when the Warren Bulldogs host the senior Rugby League knockout.
The action will get underway at Warren’s Victoria Park, at 11.00am with the Bulldogs featuring in the opening game against the Coonamble Bears.
The Castlereagh League competition proper kicks off on Saturday 26 April.
