Rugby League Central Coast (RLCC) is proud to announce a new three-year partnership with Wyong Leagues Group, solidifying their position as RLCC’s Major Community Sponsor.
This significant partnership will provide essential funding to support programs at every level of the game, from grassroots juniors, playing their first match, to elite 1st Grade competition. It reinforces both organisations’ commitment to strengthening rugby league pathways, and ensuring a sustainable future for the sport on the Central Coast.
Wyong Leagues Group CEO Ben Coghlan welcomed the partnership, stating, “This partnership is yet another demonstration of the level of commitment that we have for Rugby League on the Coast. Our Group has its origins in the game, we are therefore passionate about its present health and its future. We are delighted to have this opportunity to make a direct difference to all who participate in Central Coast Rugby League at all levels. We look forward to working with the new RLCC leadership and our Board and Management offer them our strongest support.”
A key benefit of this partnership will be the relocation of the Rugby League Central Coast Grand Final to Morry Breen Field. This move provides local clubs with valuable fundraising opportunities through bar and canteen operations, helping to reinvest back into their teams and facilities.
Wyong Leagues Group’s ongoing commitment to junior development has already had a major impact on participation numbers. Their award-winning Junior Rugby League Subsidy Program, which provides every registered child with $100 towards their fees, has played a crucial role in making the game more accessible for families. This initiative, reintroduced this season, continues to ease financial barriers and encourage more young players to get involved in the sport.
RLCC Chairman Nathan Waugh highlighted the importance of the partnership, stating, “This is a truly exciting development for us. A partner like Wyong Leagues Group gives us a great opportunity to not only consolidate, but to potentially grow the game on the Coast. We are extremely grateful to receive a commitment of this scale and very much look forward to a great partnership.”
RLCC and Wyong Leagues Group are excited about the positive impact this partnership will have on the future of rugby league in the region and look forward to seeing continued growth and success for the game on the Central Coast.
