“The biggest day in Gulargambone Junior Rugby history.”

That’s the promise from NSW Rugby Development Officer Mark Pitts, who has been hard at work to organise the “Friendships in Rugby day.”

The gala day this Saturday 16 March is to be held at the Gulargambone Sportsground from 10am onwards and will feature music by local band Castlereagh Connection and a full bar and barbeque courtesy of Gulargambone's senior rugby team.

"It's the first time Gular have hosted something like this," Mr Pitts said.

"It comes off the back of four years of rebuilding the club. Hopefully it's the launch of bigger things to come."

Junior clubs from across the Western Plains including Coonabrabran, Narromine, Warren, Coonamble, Gulargambone, have signed up for the day, with some players also making the trip from Brewarrina, Walgett, Bourke and Dubbo.

Mark is also hoping to welcome some players from the Carinda Cowboys.

Boosting the numbers will be three teams from the Wellington Redbacks.

"It's great having Wellington come up because they're a pretty established club and some of their players have been playing since they were 6."

The Redbacks will be playing a feature game against the Gulargambone Juniors.

Players from other towns are welcome to come along and play if they slot into the under 8, 10, 12 age group.

“It’s going to be a great day,” said Mr Pitts.

The feature match however, is one not to be missed.

Gular's own Wallaby, Warwick Waugh will be attending the Friendships in Rugby Day.

Former Wallaby who hails from Gulargambone, Warwick Waugh, will be bringing the Randwick Second Grade Colts - the Galloping Greens - to play an exhibition match against the Western Plains Invitational Men's Team.

“It will be a great match,” said Mr Pitts. “It will be good for the juniors to see how a team like Randwick warms up and plays, and it will give them an idea of the transition from junior rugby to the senior game.”

The Randwick players will also be moving around working with the juniors doing small clinics before the big game.

Fair Dinkum Choices will be there doing registrations, Gular Lions Club will have their Chips & Nuggets van
