The draw is now available for the 2010 Country Energy TAFL competition. Welcome back to the TAFL, Narrabri Eagles.

Pre-season training began on Thursday, 21 January. Around a dozen returning and new players were at Bellevue for some skills training. Not a bad turnout given the temperature on the day.

Among the topics of conversation, when players could breathe, was the almost-definite return of the Narrabri Eagles to the Country Energy TAFL competition. The Eagles have nominated for 2010 and just have some details to complete.

In response to the enthusiasm shown for the Tablelands Cup in the last few seasons, the Nomads have opted to double the fun with the event being expanded to two days. The Cup will be held on 20th and 21st of March.

Invitations have been sent out, although a number of clubs have already been in contact to secure their places.

More details to follow as things develop, just keep an eye on this site.

Pre-season training for 2010 will begin on Thursday, 21 January, 5:30pm at Bellevue Oval.

The club would like to say thank you to the Aquarelle Bed and Breakfast in Urunga. They have provided us with a very generous deal on accommodation for Brendan and Lisa Meehan to have a weekend away before the chaos of the new season begins.

The weekend away is a small token of the club’s appreciation of the time and effort that Brendan and Lisa put into the club, and was announced at the 2009 Awards evening. We hope they have a great time in Urunga, and that Chloe has an equally enjoyable time in Armidale.

Aquarelle is a 4½ star bed and breakfast in a beautiful, secluded spot. So if you are thinking about spending some time at the coast, consider the Aquarelle. More information and pictures are available at their web site.
