The squad which consists of 17 players split into two teams at the start of the season and play against each other before every one of the senior home games.

Just two weeks after the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Penrith Panthers ran out onto Apex Oval, some new football stars made their mark on the turf playing an interclub match before the League Tag match against the Parkes Spacecats.

After they left the field, the Super Tag team were smiling from ear to ear and it is more than likely spectators would not find a more passionate group of players anywhere.

Raiders secretary Sue Egan is hoping for more numbers in the coming years.

"We were hoping to end up with four teams so they could play a different team each week," she said.

"I think they have just picked two teams and they stay in that team each week but this is only our second round.

"They have so much fun."

The idea was established by Egan and Nikki Daley to give the chance for people of all abilities to play football.

Egan said the concept happened a few years ago but it was important to bring it back.

"I know a few years ago [it happened], I don't know if they had teams and they just came to play one game for the season." she said.

The Super Tag side only play home games at the moment but as Dubbo is arguably the hub of Group 11 football, Egan feels expansion would be ideal to grow the concept.

"But at least it's on home games and they don't have to travel and it's easy on their carers then having to travel the same as we do," she said.

"I think if you do it like this, it could expand because you don't have that travel and extra cost involved."

Egan is also hopeful that the other Dubbo Group 11 side could allow the side to play before their home games or even have a team of their own next season.

"Next year, if we had more teams you could nearly play it every week because [Dubbo] CYMS are home when we are away normally," she said.

For the Raiders, the Super Tag side is about giving people the opportunity to play football Egan feels the club has shown great support for the team.

"Exactly, it's good for our players to get involved and be a bit more inclusive," she said.

"A couple of our South coaches are their carers, they are not here this week but last week they came down and bought a few of their little players as well."

The Super Tag team will now have to wait three weeks before their next match at Apex Oval on June 27 vhen the Raiders host Dubbo CYMS.
