March 14, 2024 in Sport

On Saturday, March 9, a reunion of past and present Oberon Tigers players happened at the Oberon Leagues Club. It was a great opportunity to renew old friendships, make some new ones and share some memories. The club has a long history, with its inevitable ups and downs, but the turnout to this event showed that no matter when people competed or what the results might have happened to be at the time, club loyalty is still strong.

Golf professionals were on hand to give instructions, golf clubs were provided (because most people would not have had their own), and the Club turned on a barbecue afterwards.

February 15, 2024, in Community and Sport

Earthmoving and site preparation might have started on Oberon's new sports complex, but the official start of any project is the "Turning of the first sod", and this happened on Tuesday, February 13. Fittingly, there were representatives of all three levels of government in attendance, as this is not just a council project but is largely funded by both state and federal governments.

Present at the occasion were the Federal member for Calare Andrew Gee, State member for Bathurst Paul Toole, several Oberon Councillors, representatives from Rugby League, Hockey and the Leagues Club and representatives of Borg who are doing the construction.

The new sports complex. At last!
February 1, 2024, in Sport and Community

There has been talk around Oberon for some time about the building of a new sports complex, and now it looks like something is really happening.

The complex is planned to have two rugby league fields, which can also be used for soccer and union, two sealed netball courts, a hockey field (maybe grass, maybe synthetic), car parking and a grandstand which will incorporate change rooms as well as the licensed club.

Better and more convenient sporting facilities increase the likelihood of residents taking up sports. Oberon already has an excellent golf course, reasonable areas for athletics and one of only two indoor tennis centres in regional NSW. The new sports complex will make the sporting life of Oberon even better. And what could be better than watching the Tigers from a comfortable grandstand seat rather than standing out in the rain?
