It only seems like a moment ago we were gearing up for the first round of the 2018 Group 11 season but on Sunday another year comes to an end.
Dubbo’s Apex Oval is the place to be, with four hotly-anticipated deciders to be played out in front of what is sure to be a massive crowd.
Five of the competition’s eight clubs will be in action on the grand stage with each of Dubbo’s three clubs to vie for glory while Parkes and Forbes will also be in action.
We’ve got all you need to know about the day right here in a goldmine of Group 11 rugby league content.
And if you can’t get to the games on Sunday, you can follow along online. Reporters Nick Guthrie and Nick McGrath will be on deck and you can follow them on Twitter at @nj_guthrie and @nickmcgrath4 or by following the #Group11 hashtag.
The games start at 10am, with prices being $15 for adults and $5 for kids.
There will be two canteens runs by the Nyngan Tigers in the main grandstand and there will be a bar as well while the Narromine Jets will be running a bar and BBQ on the hill.
Doubles will also be available, with proceeds going to local teenager Molly Croft and her battle with cancer.
