Last week Johnnys Boy and Lynchman showed just how equal they were when they managed a dead heat in the $5000 Ronald McDonald House Orange Pace (1730 metres) but they will get an oppo
06 Sep 09 | CSU will take on the Bathurst Bulldogs in six days time for the Central West Rugby Union second grade premiership after holding out Orange Emus 22-7 in the preliminary final on Saturday
The students shut-out the Emus for most of the match at KC Laird Field and were never realistically headed despite taking a slender 3-0 lead to the half-time break.
06 Sep 09 | THEY were the two best sides throughout the minor premiership, one who dominated the opening half of the competition and one who were almost unstoppable in the second.
Now Narromine will meet the Bathurst Bulldogs in a fitting Central West Rugby Union grand final this weekend after the ’Dogs booked their spot with an emphatic win over Forbes at KC Laird Field on Saturday.
04 Sep 09 | IT may have been pushed to the back of people’s minds simply through the factor of time, but Forbes Platypi coach Phil Prior says that “a little bit of Bali” still lives in his players as they prepare to play for a Central West Rugby Union grand final spot tomorrow.
04 Sep 09 | THEY have been one of the top teams in Central West Rugby Union all season and until last week had strung together 11 straight wins, but the Bathurst Bulldogs know that if they don’t turn up to play in tomorrow’s preliminary final their campaign is over.
The Bulldogs will take on the surprise packets of the competition in Forbes Platypi – a team that most people thought were only making up the numbers in the finals.
31 Aug 09 | Narromine’s first ever Central West Rugby Union grand final appearance celebrations have been clouded by the news that tough flanker Jeremy Brown could miss the big game in a fortnight after being yellow carded late in Saturday’s gutsy 38-32 win over Bathurst Bulldogs.
28 Aug 09 | CSU will be out to re-produce their defensive shut-out of the Dubbo Kangaroos when they take on minor premiers Orange Emus tomorrow for a spot in the Central West Rugby Union colts grand final.
The two sides will meet in a hotly anticipated clash tomorrow morning at Narromine. Emus are coming off a rest having wrapped up a strong minor premiership season, losing just three matches all season.
28 Aug 09 | The Bathurst Bulldogs colts will go into their game against the Dubbo Kangaroos on Sunday full of confidence after a strong performance in the opening game of the 2009 Central West Rugby Union finals series.
Last Saturday Bulldogs overcame Dubbo Rhinos 45-14 in a dominant display, but they know that travelling to Dubbo to take on the team that finished second in the home and away round will be a difficult task.
’Roos will also be keen to bounce back after they went down to CSU 14-6.
28 Aug 09 | Tomorrow’s game between the Bathurst Bulldogs and the Narromine Gorillas is shaping up as one of biggest games of Central West Rugby Union all season as both sides look to book a place in the 2009 grand final.
Narromine have been the team to beat for most of the season, but the Bulldogs defeated them in their last encounter and also disposed of Dubbo Kangaroos in their semi-final clash last Saturday.
25 Aug 09 | Bathurst Bulldogs colts showed their class with a 45-14 win over Dubbo Rhinos at University Oval on Sunday to ensure their Central West Rugby Union survival for another week.
The Bulldogs were relentless as they scored 33 points before half-time to put their rivals to bed before running down the clock in the second stanza.
25 Aug 09 | BATHURST Bulldogs’ push for a Central West Rugby Union third grade title has progressed to the second week of the semi-finals after they defeated Dubbo Rhinos 26-13 in their elimination clash at University Oval on Sunday.
Led by their big forwards and halfback Soane Finau, ’Dogs led for most of the match and were only briefly threatened early in the second half.
25 Aug 09 | If Craig Campbell’s body language is any indication then the Narromine Gorillas are going to be hard to beat for this year’s Central West Rugby Union premiership.
With their first ever minor premiership under their belts, Narromine enjoyed a deserved weekend off and keenly watched the results of the preliminary semi-finals – especially the game at KC Laird Field between Bathurst Bulldogs and Dubbo Kangaroos.
03 Apr 09 | SEASON 2009 will be all about taking the extra step for one of the few teams who appear capable of ending the Dubbo Kangaroos dominance of Central West Rugby Union.
The all-conquering Dubbo side ha...
