Our under 15s  this season will play as the Red Boars after it was decided to merg with Parkes as both towns were struggling to field a side, this now gives them a squad of twenty players which will ensure that they are able to compete throughout the season. It proved to be a pretty tough start to the year but considering half our players had only met each other an hour before kick off we were absolutly stoked with the effort they put in leaving us confident they will win there fair share of games. Red Boars 15, Dubbo 52

The heat dial had really turned up by the time the 17s ran on but boths sides seemed to cope well and stuck it to each other for the entire match. The two teams stayed neck and neck right until the final whistle Wellington held a 7 to 5 lead at half time but Dubbo hit back after the break, Ethan Styles then bagged his second try which was converted, when  Allan Riley added a penalty shot soon after it looked as though the Redbacks would go on with it but a very persistant Dubbo kept knocking on the door and were rewarded with a converted try after the bell to give them a 17 all draw.
