CSU Mungoes hoping teams can return back to training soon

While Group 10 cancelled its premier league, first division and league tag competition last week, it's likely Mid West go ahead as the NSW Government has given the all clear for senior sport to return from July 1.

Rhys Power was given the coaching gig for the men's side this year and while his team hasn't got back to training yet, he's hoping things will be going back to normal soon.

"We haven't starting training yet. We were aiming to have a bit of a run around this week but it's all very dependant with what the uni is doing," he said.

"We might lose one or two players, but nothing too major.

"A lot of them are living in town and somewhat local these days, so it's not too bad. A few of the older boys are pretty keen, they were sort of coming back for one last year.

"They're all working full time in town and not necessarily university students.

"I think there's about four to five of the boys that go to university in Orange that come over and play and they're all happy as Larry to come to training."

Power said numbers were good during the first weeks of training prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

"We had heaps of first year students, probably 12-15 turn up for the first weeks of training," he said.

"That kind of plateaus out and then dies off just with circumstances changing for everyone at uni.

"I think we'll have a fair few young guys running around and there'll be some old guys running around and a few blokes from last year, so it should be good."

An upcoming meeting between the other Mid West clubs on Wednesday night online with be crucial for CSU and the other clubs to better understand what this season will look like and when it will start.
