In a replay of the 2012 grand final the Roosters open their season with a game against the Gremlins in Inglewood. On the same day Wallangarra will host Texas and Killarney will be the first club to play newcomers Goondiwindi Red as their make first foray into the Border Rugby League.
This season there will be three rounds of seven games. The representative side, the Border Bushrangers will play a representative game in Stanthorpe in May against Northern division. There will also be representative opportunities for BRL players with South West Trials being played in Miles early in the season to select a south West Side to play in Kingaroy against Wide Bay. The south West side will once again play in the Outback Muster which this year will be hosted by Hughenden in June.
All clubs have held their sign on days and while it is still only early days, player numbers are encouraging.
Plenty of interest is expected from league followers with Goondiwindi fielding two teams in this year’s competition.
