The Narromine Gorillas have continued their undefeated run in 2025, beating the Mudgee Wombats in their major semi-final.


The 28-22 win now means the Gorillas have hosting rights for this year's Central West Rugby 2025 New Holland Cup Grand Final.


A close game saw the Gorillas and Wombats go blow for blow, but it would be the boot of Narromine fly-half Jacob Hardie that made the difference.


Mudgee managed to cross over for four tries, but converting just one killed them in the end.


Narromine's Hardie converted two of their three tries, and nailed a penalty kick from right in front with twelve minutes to go to push the lead out to 25-22, and a further score on the buzzer to win the game 28-22.


The Wombats will now play the Parkes Boars in Mudgee after they dispatched of the Dubbo Rhinos 62-28 in their minor semi.


In second grade, Mudgee got the job done against Dubbo in the major semi 50-8, booking their spot in the grand final.


In the minor semi-final, Narromine made light work of the Boars in Parkes, keeping them scoreless to win 49-0.


They now move on to play the Dubbo Rhinos in the preliminary final.


In the Women's 10s Norths Cup, the Mudgee Wombats defeated Molong in the major semi-final 34-26.


In the minor semi, Parkes narrowly beat the CSU Mitchell Mustards 33-31 to keep their season alive.
