THE GUMBAYNGGIRR Coffs Coast Raiders are putting out the call for young female players to take part in the biggest annual Indigenous rugby league carnival.
The Raiders are on the lookout for players to join their Under 17s girls team that will play in this year’s Koori Knockout held over the October long weekend in Tamworth.
The Raiders are also looking for any sponsors to help get their three teams to the Knockout.
The Raiders are aiming to have women’s, Under 17s Boys, and Under 17s Girls teams compete at the prestigious carnival.
If you know any young women of Aboriginal descent, aged 17 and under, who’d love to play footy, or if you’d like help sponsor the Raiders in their Korri Knockout quest, please contact the club at coffscoastraiders@gmail.com.
Raiders teams have previously played in the East Coast Tribal League, with the women’s side winning the title in 2023.
