The Balonne Barwon Rugby League competition is run under Queensland Junior Rugby League.

The Lightning Ridge Rugby League team obtained permission from NSW Junior Rugby League to play in the competition because there were more teams and the players are guaranteed to play a game on the day.

The competition will continue with Lightning Ridge travelling to other towns around the region.

There is a meeting of junior rugby league on May 4 at the Lightning Ridge Bowling Club beginning at 6pm. All interested parents are welcome.

The new training times as of May 5 are 4.30pm to 5.30pm.
