The Western Plains teams in this year's Koori KnockoutWalgett Aboriginal Connection celebrate the their 22-12 grand final win against Wiradjuri in 2023.

Teams from the Western Plains will be some of the first to play in the men's draw of one of the biggest Indigenous sport events in Australia.

 

Over 140 rugby teams will play across the women's, men's and junior's sections in the Koori Knockout in Bathurst from 4-7 October.

 

Walgett will field three men's sides, with reserve team Walgett Aboriginal Connection Dragons (WAC Dragons) facing the Castlereagh All Blacks in Pool A at 9am.


 

First graders Walgett Aboriginal Connection (WAC), not to be confused with the Dragons, will then face the Wellington Wedgetails in the same pool at 9:50am.

 

In Pool C at 12:20pm, the Wiradjuri Aboriginal Rivers (WAR) Veterans side verse Sydney All Blacks, while Bourke Warriors square off against Cuz United.

 

Walgett Young Guns take on Newcastle All Blacks in the same pool at 1:10pm.

 


Castlereagh All Blacks president Dewayne Sampson said WAC and WAR were teams to look out for on the field. 

 

"Both of them are stacked. A lot of money and a lot of resources," he said.

 

"WAC are always a hard team. They beat us a couple year ago in the grand final.

 

"It's all about family and all about community. It's good to get back in touch with them and get along with the brothers."
