Dubbo College will host a rugby league reunion in July this year

On July 1, the Dubbo High/Dubbo College rugby league reunion will be held at the Garden Hotel, reuniting some of the best players the town has seen.

Organised by Dubbo College's Craig May, the night will also feature two commemorative sides being revealed.

A Dubbo High 1980-2000 side has already been selected by May, Ian Naden, Gerard Dunn, Ray Farag and Greg MacIntosh to pick a 20-man squad from the two decades based on their efforts with the school.

Meanwhile, the current 2000-2022 team was also picked with several professionals to choose from.

With the likes of Kaide Ellis playing overseas at Wigan and recent graduate Aston Warwick at Penrith, the selectors have been spoilt for choice when it comes to picking the latter side while Charlie Runciman also dominated during his schooling days.
