Squads for Junior Representative 2024 Announced

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are happy to reveal the final squads for the 2024 New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) Junior Representative season, including those for the Harold Matthews Cup, Lisa Fiaola Cup, SG Ball Cup, and Tarsha Gale Cup.

The 2024 season will see the Lisa Fiaola Cup (Womens U17s), the Harold Matthews Cup (Mens U17s), the SG Ball Cup (Mens U19), and the Tarsha Gale Cup (Womens U19s) run as a full-length, nine-match competition series for the first time in NSWRL history.

The first round of the four competitions will begin this weekend at Belmore Sports Ground, home of the Bulldogs, with a massive day of fierce rugby league action.

The Bulldogs’ male pathways will take on the Roosters while the female routes prepare to face Parramatta, a nearby rival. With all four squads now officially finalized, there will be plenty of talent to catch as they get ready to play in the Blue and White at home on Saturday.

EVERY GRADE PLAYS AT BELMORE SPORTS GROUND FOR ROUND 1

The gates open at 9:30 a.m. Please be aware that admission is $5.00.

The Tarsha Gale team, who finished as runners-up in 2023, will be keen to begin their season in grand fashion this coming Saturday (11:30am). Similarly, a bolstered SG Ball team, now supervised by Steve “Zap” Turner, will be eager to start their own Premiership triumphant journey (2:30pm). The Harold Matthews Squad will be firing up to defend their Premiership championship at 1:00pm, while the redesigned Lisa Fiaola Cup team will be prepared to launch their first-ever complete competition series at 10:00am.
