All registered players and their points value are available to view via our website in the "Club Points" section: www.newcastlerugbyleague.com.au

LIVESCORINGFORFIRST GRADE All first grade teams for each weekend are posted on nswrl.com.au under "Draws > Business Plaza Cup". The first grade teams are posted there at 5pm every Tuesday.

The Cessnock town is very excited for Sunday. The town has turned black and gold. Congratulations to Todd, his staff and team on a fantastic achievement.

Look out for the Tyrrell?s retro jersey for sale, thanks to Trevor Gilmore for initiating this great jersey and to Tyrrell?s Wines for allowing this jersey to be recreated. Sale will be via our facebook page.

A shout out to our volunteers who are the back bone of our 108 year old club.
