Monaro Colts Country Championships Squads Announced
The 2025 Monaro Colts squads for the Men's and Women's Country Championships have been finalised.
The Women’s team will kick off their campaign this Sunday in Canowindra, where they will face the Western Rams.
On the other hand, the Men’s team have a bye in Round One. They will play the winner of the Macarthur Wests Tigers versus Illawarra South Coast Dragons match in Round Two.
The Women’s team will look to go one step further this year after narrowly missing out on the Grand Final in 2024, falling short to the Western Rams in the qualifying game, with the Rams going on to claim the title.
The Men’s team reached the Grand Final last year but were defeated by a strong Newcastle Maitland Knights outfit.
With a strong side once again in 2025, they’ll be confident in their ability to go all the way.
