Robb College kick off their New England Rugby Union season on July 25 and will have the chance for a good hitout this Saturday.

"We're pretty excited about trying to get a bit of football happening for the region," Croppa Creek Crows Rugby Club president Iain MacLennan said.

"We're going to have a fair spread of regular players from other clubs to give us a hand."

Players from Inverell, Moree, Bingara and Goondiwindi will travel to Croppa Creek to pull on a Crows jersey.

"It'll give the Robb boys a good opportunity to get a run," MacLennan said.

"They're being sponsored by the Croppa Creek Cooperative this year, we're using it as a bit of a sponsors day for that rugby club to give back to the Croppa community. We're looking forward to it."

The Crows and Robb have had a good relationship over the years, with Robb previously having competed in their annual gala day.

"Robb students come out here for harvest work so we're really trying to bolster that relationship and get some young faces into the community to give us a hand when we need it and give them a hand when they need it," MacLennan said.

"In terms of football wise, it's definitely three or four years since we've played Robb College.

"It's been quite a while, not a lot of faces that are familiar. It'll be a good little hitout."

COVID-19 restrictions will still be in place but the club is still hoping to get a couple of hundred people out to the game.

MacLennan wanted to stress that anyone feeling unwell avoid attending the game on Saturday.
