Earlier this year he competed in the Australian Foundation Cup tournament, which he was named the tournament's boys' best and fairest player, as well as winning the tournament alongside his NSW teammates.

Collins' recent tournaments include the Tennis World Canberra Junior Open and NSW State Championships Gold JT in October, as well as featuring in Bathurst High's Astley Cup team in 2018.

This year will be his second stint in the Bathurst High's Astley Cup team and he'll no doubt claim up a few wins when he picks up the racquet.

A SG Ball player for the Penrith Panthers, a Western Rams junior representative and a Bathurst Panthers first grader.

That's a pretty handy resume for Brad Fearnley, who's in his last year of school.

He's got plenty ahead of him if he sticks to rugby league, but at the moment his focus will be firmly on Bathurst High's Astley Cup campaign.

No doubt he and his teammates will look to avenge that heartbreaking lost to Dubbo in 2018.

She's been a regular for Souths in Women's Premier League Hockey for several years now, so Sophie McCauley is bound to bring plenty of experience to the Bathurst High hockey side for this year's Astley Cup campaign.

And she'll be hoping for a repeat of last year's thrilling win over Dubbo.

Bathurst claimed a 1-0 triumph on the back of a thrilling strike from McCauley on home turf, late in the game.

Post-game, coach Jackie Hood described the win as the best game she had seen in 25 years of playing Dubbo in the Astley Cup.

Expect McCauley to feature heavily for Bathurst against Dubbo and Orange in the coming fortnight.

Joely Anderson may be a regular for the Western NSW Mariners' under 17s side, but she's also had three appearances for the senior side in NSW National Premier Leagues 3 this year.

But she's also had her fair share of moments for her school, scoring a late goal in extra-time against Mudgee High in the Bill Turner Trophy girl's area final.

She'll be looking to inspire her side when they take on Dubbo this weekend, as well as against Orange on home turf next week.

Zen Clark will be featuring in several sports in the 2019 Astley Cup, but expect him to excel in athletics.

Clark is one of the best runners in the state, coming home in sixth in the under 20s 100 and 200 metres sprints at the Australian Athletics Championships.

Those were some seriously impressive results for the talented sprinter who was racing against much more experienced opponents.

Clark finished third in his 100 metre heat with a 11.17 second run into a headwind and was consistent with an 11.20 in the final under similar conditions.

He ran 22.29 in the 200 metre final to finish just two hundredths of a second off fourth place.
