There was one point when it looked like the Coolah Roos wouldn't be playing any rugby this year.

But after finally getting the chance to take to the field the club has savoured a year of milestones and remains in the hunt for a premiership.
The Roos take on the Blayney Rams in this weekend's semi-final, with a spot in the decider on the line.
Injuries and players being unavailable has hampered the build-up but even if the Roos do bow out this weekend there's still been plenty of highlights in 2020.
None were bigger than last weekend when Robbie Baker broke the club record for appearances.
The veteran prop played his 238th game for the club in the final round and will take his place in the front-row again in Saturday's semi.
"He's been on the committee for 10 years and to be playing prop as a 38-year-old still is a pretty good effort," club president and teammate Adam Burgess said.
"I know I would't be putting my head in there. But he's a good fella and would do anything for you. He's a top bloke."
Burgess had a special moment of his own earlier this season when playing his 200th game for the club while Sam Wesley played game number 50 for the Roos only a few weeks ago.
The Roos suffered a disappointing 19-0 loss to Mudgee last weekend, one that resulted in the side slipping from second to third on the ladder.
That means they have to hit the road for this weekend's semi against a Blayney side which hasn't lost since round one.
That round one defeat came at the hands of the Roos.
"It will be much different to the first round and we're definitely looking forward to it," Burgess said.
"It will be pretty even across the board so it will be about capitalising on the little opportunities and otherwise it will be a real grind."
