The Goldies will be chasing glory, looking to go one better than last year where they came in the bridesmaid, the Red Devils will be eyeing the finals after being knocked out by the Goldies and the Yabbies will be hoping to make history by bringing home another win in the big dance.
This weekend for the opening round the Red Devils will be travelling to Cootamundra to take on the Tri-Colours at the Cootamundra Rugby Club with kick off at 3.15pm, the Yabbies will be playing at home facing off against the Temora Tuskers at Cranfield Oval from 3.15pm and the Goldies will be making the trip to Condobolin to go up against the Rams.
The Yabbies have another reason to celebrate this season with the club celebrating its 70th year.
"We can't believe the off season has come and gone and we are bloody excited to rip right into our 70th year as a club," the Yabbies said.
