This year, the Albany Lions have not nominated a team in the Great Southern Rugby Union Association.

Instead a new association has been formed called the Albany Districts Rugby Union Association (ADRUA).

After recent trials, three teams - the Mt Barker Bulls, the Denmark Brothers and Albany Lions, have been nominated.

All matches will be played at Centennial Oval and Denmark, instead of travelling to Narrogin or Katanning.

Although enough players have already registered for a 10-a-side competition, more people are encouraged to pull on their boots and turn up for a training session, which are being held at Royals Football Club at 6pm on Thursdays.

Alternatively, phone ADRUA president John Clouston on 0438 927 190 for more information.

The first round of fixtures begin on Saturday, April 18.
