In 2026 there will be a primary NSWPSSA pathway for girls rugby league. In preparation CSNSW ran inaugural selections for Polding and MacKillop teams and yesterday both teams met and showcased their talent. Following the game there was a recovery session followed by guest speakers and then a tour of the NRL Centre of Excellence. Polding dominated the whole match winning 8 tries to 1, 3 of them being scored by our Ruby. All 7 of our Diocesan students shone on the field, it will be exciting times as they move to our secondary pathway. Congratulations to:
