2026 Premiers | Blowes Clothing Cup Third Grade🏆

Orange City Rugby Union Club have broken their nine-year title drought, holding on in a hard-hitting, all-Orange decider.

The Lions toughed it out after Emus Rugby Club Ltd pulled a 15-point gap back to just three as the full-time whistle loomed.

But Orange City showed plenty of composure to hold on, winning their first title since 2017 and adding it to their Minor Premiership.

Congratulations to both sides. These local derby deciders always deliver, and today was no different.

GRAND FINAL DAY …

PREMIERS!

Congratulations to our Third Grade side, crowned 2026 Premiers after a hard-fought 15–12 victory over cross-town rivals Orange Emus in hot and windy conditions on No. 1 Oval in Dubbo.

Our Lionesses gave everything in their Grand Final but fell short against a strong Dubbo outfit. While it wasn’t the result they wanted, reaching the decider capped another outstanding season for the group.

Congratulations to both sides on earning their place on Grand Final Day - and to Third Grade on finishing the job and bringing home a premiership.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip to Dubbo and got behind Orange City. Your support was certainly heard and appreciated.

FINAL XV FRIDAY …

There’s nothing more to say.

The work is done. The teams are set.

Orange City Rugby Union Club has celebrated plenty of firsts in recent years, enjoying a period of incredible Ferguson Cup development 🦁

✅In 2023, it was their first finals berth.
✅ In 2025, their first Grand Final appearance.
✅ This year, they've won their first Minor Premiership.

Could 2026 also be the first time they hoist the Ferguson Cup? They'll need to reverse the Major Semi-Final result, but it'd take a brave person to say they can't.
