The Inverell Hawks sit in the prime spot to claim the 2026 Group 19 Rugby League Minor Premiership but need to win their final home and away match against the Warialda Wombats at Jim Payne Oval tomorrow to confirm a home ground major semi-final.
The Hawks and the Uralla Tigers each sit with 32 competition points, only separated by for and against, but 1st grade coach Jamie McCormack stresses they hold their home ground semi fortunes in their hands, adding the Warialda Wombats won’t be pushovers in front of a big home crowd for their Old Boys Day.
Meantime, Uralla Coach Greg Ryan says they’re only focused on the one premiership and that’s not the minor premiership adding while it’s hard not to focus on next week’s semis, they’re focused on a strong performance against Barraba.
The other game tomorrow sees Glen Innes Magpies make the long trip to Moree to tackle the Boomerangs.
