The Narromine Jets have safely landed in the Castlereagh Rugby League competition having been unanimously voted in by the nine existing clubs at the League’s AGM on Sunday 28 November.

The Jets will become the tenth club in the vast Castlereagh League competition with their entry sure to generate much interest throughout the Group.

Chris Deighton, the Castlereagh President, welcomed the red and whites to the competition, saying “Obviously Castlereagh League is doing something right in terms of providing footy for our communities. We are not a “cheque book” competition and we thrive on having players, clubs, sponsors and supporters who just want to have local rugby league in their town."

"The way our competition is run makes it viable for small communities to have teams and continue to do so," he said.

We look forward to the Narromine Jets becoming a valued member of the Castlereagh community.”

Following the inclusion of the Jets lengthy discussion too place in regards to the structure of the 2022 competition with the consensus being that an 18 round home and away competition, followed by a five team semi final series would draw out the season too far.

Consequently a 14 round competition draw was adopted with the competition set to kick off on 30 April 2022 and the grand final to be played on 3 September.

Preceding the start of the competition will be the annual knockouts with Gulgong hosting the League Tag and Youth League on Saturday 2 April and Gilgandra the senior league on 9 April 2022.
