The Group 16 Minor Rugby League Carnival and Centenary of Rugby League Celebrations were held at the Bega Recreation Ground on Saturday. The day went off without a hitch and the weatherman managed too turned on a brilliant June day; seventy five teams from Under 7’s – Under 16’s competed on the day and our international teams didn’t let us down turning on some dazzling football.

NRL player Lincoln Withers from the Canberra Raiders and former Cronulla and South Sydney great David Peachey were on hand signing autographs and shaking hands giving our young players quite a thrill. Thank you Lincoln and David for your attendance.

The Group would like to thank the Bega Club and their army of helpers, also Andrew D’Arnay, Linda Parbery, Martin Finnerty, Louise Taylor, MC & ARL Development Officer: Damien Kennedy, CRL Development Officer: Garry Stevenson, the First Aid Officers, the Referees Association for providing the referees and our eight clubs; without the help of all of these people the day could not have been the huge success it was. Thank you everyone.
