I'd like to personally thank David Interim Chairman, Balmain DJRL Trodden (CEO of NSWRL) and Stuart Stanton (NSWRL Community Football Manager) for their ongoing support of the Balmain Junior League during these tough times. At the end of the 2018 season there was great momentum from the Junior League Board to look forward into 2019 and beyond. On Sunday 25th November the Board and key operational staff held a Strategic planning workshop at Leichhardt Oval where we engaged an independent facilitator to help us plan the future of our junior league. Great discussions and debate were undertaken on the day with one of the key outcomes being the agreement of our Charter for junior rugby league in the Balmain district. Our Charter is: “We promote and foster sportsmanship, teamwork, respect and Rugby League skills in a fun and safe environment for all in the community”.
