Brad Kelly and Stan Smith are looking forward to bringing their football knowledge to the under 16s side.

Moree Junior Rugby League club president Darren van Dugteren is hopeful this season will be bigger and better than last year.

“We are very excited about the interest we have received from coaches and players already,” van Dugteren said.

“We have cemented our 16s coaches and have been approached by a few past players who would be keen to share their knowledge with the other sides,” he said.

MJRL will be holding a sign-up-day on Saturday, February 11 at Boughton Oval from 10.30am to 1pm.

The ‘minis’- five, six and seven-year-olds - will be playing the inter-town competition.

It will be $50 to register your ‘mini’.

The Under 8s, 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s who will be playing the Group 19 travelling competition will have to pay $70 to register.

It is important you bring along a copy of your child’s birth certificate and a current Medicare card, or the club won’t be able to register your child for the 2012 season.

The first competition round will start on February 17.

Representative trials will be held the following weekend.

The MJRLC are still calling for coaches to look after the under 8s, 10s, 12s and 14-year-old squads.

If anyone is interested could they please submit applications to Moree Junior Rugby League PO Box 51, Moree NSW 2400, by February 10.

Anyone interested in a coach’s course, please contact Kerry McDonald ASAP, so a course can be run before the season kicks off.

The first committee meeting for the year will be held at the Moree and District Services Club on Monday, January 23 starting at 7pm.
