Western Youth League Competition

Players paired up and practicing some ball work during training for the Western Youth League Competition.
Parkes soccer players have been training as part of the Lachlan team to comete in a pre-season competition against larger centers like Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Cowra, Mudgee/Lithgow in an upcoming Gala at Goulburn.
The Lachlan team consists of players from Parkes, Forbes, Condobolin, Cowra and Yeoval. The formation of the Lachlan team was important to give the youth in these smaller towns the opportunity to play.
Do you know what Parkes was called before it was officially named Parkes in 1873?
