The Eugowra Rugby League Football Club will be holding a Meet and Greet this Saturday, January 23 at the Central Hotel starting at 1pm.
The new coaches, Brad McMillan who will coach first grade and Josh Bayley, who will coach League Tag, will be present to meet prospective players and see what interest there is in playing numbers.
Although COVID restrictions still apply it is hoped that all those interested in the future of the club will go along for a social afternoon.
It has been confirmed that the Woodbridge Club competition will go ahead but not confirmed just what number of clubs will play this year.
