It's with much disappointment the WBOP Year 5/6 9's Rugby League Festival has been cancelled due to lack of support. We apologise to the 12 school teams, both players and teachers/coaches that had entered and to Katherine who had helped organise.
Lets hope we don't hear talk from clubs around finding new players as this was an opportunity lost.
