All of NSW Country’s zone converged on the stunning facility to contest the Caldwell Cup, Richardson Shield, Rowlands Cup and Women’s Sevens tournaments.
Central West won through to the final in the top tier Caldwell Cup and the Rowlands Cup colts tournament, but unfortunately lost to Illawarra and Newcastle-Hunter respectively, while the women’s side finished fourth.
Central Coast ending up winning the Richardson Shield, while Newcastle-Hunter won the women’s sevens title.

Formerly a sports specialist, I'm based at Orange and shift between wide-spread range of subjects here and, often, across the entire Central West region of NSW as well. I have almost a decade of experience in the media and marketing industries both here in Australia and internationally, along with journalism I have experience in content strategy, brand development, and digital and social media. Along the way, I've been fortunate to win a handful of media awards and be nominated for several others too.
