GUTSY RESULT: The Forbes Allstars fought out a gutsy draw again with Parkes Vipers last weekend 2-2.

Supporting Ronald McDonald House Orange

Forbes Rugby is playing its part in the Central West Rugby Fundraising Challenge. This is an initiative supported by Blowes Menswear, who is not only a major sponsor of our competition but also a supporter of RMHC Orange, and has called upon our zone to help raise funds in support of the phenomenal work of Ronald McDonald House Orange.
Since opening in 2015, RMHC Orange has assisted at least 95 families from Forbes and surrounds. All money raised will stay in Orange to support families from the central and far west as their child is receiving specialist and life-saving treatment in Orange Hospital. To donate you can go to the link below. https://fundraise.rmhc.org.au/fundraisers/forbesrugbyclub

Magpies Lose Local Derby To Spacemen

Forbes Magpies 18s were the only side to get a win on the weekend in the clash between Forbes Magpies and rivals Parkes Spacemen. Reserves were unlucky not to get the win in a bold display while the Women’s were outclassed by the Spacecats. In the top grade, Parkes showed many why they are a formidable outfit in 2021 with a strong 38-22 victory over a gallant Magpies outfit.

• Women’s – Parkes 24 – 4 Forbes
• Under 18s – Parkes 4 – 36 Forbes
• Reserve Grade – Parkes 14 – 10 Forbes
• First Grade – Parkes 38 – 22 Forbes
