Bathurst District representatives Cooper Brien, Declan Fawkner, Hamish Siegert and Thomas Lynch all return in 2017-18 after helping the under 14s to glory last season.
They will be joined by another Bathurst duo – Cody Hall and Jacob Ryan – in Sunday’s season opener against Macquarie Valley in Dubbo.
The under 14s will be guided by Bathurst coach Clint Bryant, while the under 16s, who also begin the new season in Dubbo on Sunday, have Shane Broes as mentor.
Broes has heavy Bathurst representation within his under 16s side with Ben Mitchell, Sam Hall, Ben Cant, Bailey Brien, Hugh Parsons and Jack Goodsell all named to take on Macquarie Valley.
It is expected to be a stern test first-up given Macquarie is the defending under 16s champion.
