By BRYSON LUFF THE impressive form shown in 2024 by Coolah Kangaroos was again on show at the 2025 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League’s knockout played last Saturday before a sizeable crowd in warm weather at Warren’s Victoria Park. Just as they did last year the Coolah outfit were imposing as they swept all before them to claim the Castlereagh League Knockout Shield, scoring 56 points in their three matches last Saturday whilst conceding just six, that being a converted penalty try in the final against the Dunedoo Swans. Prior to their 20 to 6 win over the Swans the Kangaroos
downed the Baradine Magpies 22 to nil in the opening game before winning 14 to nil against their 2024 grand final opponent, the Cobar Roosters. Despite being beaten 20 to 6 in the final the Swans would have been well pleased with their effort, which surprised many, after not fielding a first-grade side last year. Dunedoo accounted for Coonabarabran 18 to 6 in their first match then got over the top of the Coonamble Bears 16 to 12 in a semi-final. The Coonabarabran Unicorns took out the consolation final, defeating their near neighbours and archrivals, the Baradine Magpies 22 to 4.

The Bulldogs were narrowly beaten 12 to 6 in the first game of the day and then drew 12-all with Coonabarabran but did not progress any further in the consolation competition. The Unicorns were declared the winners of that consolation semi-final because they were the first scorers in the match.
