The town of Nyngan is awash with Bogan Bulls fever as the Club is set to hit the paddock this Saturday in Walgett, with not one but two teams battling it out for the honour of holding the champions cup in the Western Plains Rugby Union Grand Final.

Nyngan Club President Liam Gleeson said the Club is excited for the big day and the town is really getting behind the men’s first grade side and the women’s tri tag team as they head into the final game of the season.

“It will be a massive day for the Nyngan Rugby Club,” said Mr Gleeson.

“The men’s first grade side has been there or thereabouts all year with Walgett and Warren. Warren have been the better team all year but Walgett the more talented and that showed in the major semi-final when Walgett won.

“We finished 3rd and after beating Bourke/Brewarrina Barbarians we travelled to Warren the following week and after a back-and-forth game kicked a winning penalty goal on the stroke of full time to come out victorious 23-20.

“We head to Walgett full of confidence that on our day we can match it with them. It will be a very physical contest and there’s been no love lost in recent games with them.

“They are very well drilled and play a very smart game plan, but we will look to counter that and hopefully come away with the chocolates."

Nyngan also has its women’s tri tag team in the Grand Final.

"It’s the first year that we’ve had a tri tag team in the competition, and they’ve gone through undefeated," said Mr Gleeson.

“They are a group of local girls who are coached by two superstars in Danielle Plummer (local girl) and Sarah Pearce. They are a incredible defensive team, that on 6 occasions held the opposition scoreless.

“They have had a raft of injuries throughout the year but have really pulled together and they will be heading into the grand final as favourites against a Gular team they beat 22-0 in the major semi-final.”

Women’s coach Sarah Pearce could not be more proud of the girls for their efforts.

“The women’s team have been working hard all season, and their efforts show through the results," she said.

“As coaches we come from a XV’s background, so it was a tricky transition, but we’ve applied that knowledge, and it’s created a very structured playing style,” said Ms Pearce.

“The team is well rounded, with some speed, lots of ball players, and experienced minds.

“It’s been a pleasure working with the Bogan Bulls, and we are ready to bring the cup home on Saturday.

Nyngan local Courtney Watt, fresh off playing in the winning Women’s Australian Oztag side, is a dedicated Bulls team member and can’t wait to tackle the game head on this Saturday.

“I’m super excited to be playing in the grand final of the inaugural year for the Bogan Bulls tri tag team,” said Mrs. Watt.

“I can’t wait to go out there and play our game and put together everything we have been working all year for.

“The girls have all been super welcoming and the support we have had from the club and supporters over the season has been unreal,” she said. 

Bogan Shire Mayor Glen Neill is thrilled for the Bulls and said the town is behind the club for their big day.

“We wish the Bogan Bulls the very best for grand final day and look forward to a winning result. Sporting events such as these, really bring the community together and that is a great thing.”
