The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are counting down the minutes until the club kicks off in the 2023 Ron Massey Cup for the first time.
Joining the NSWRL affiliated competition as an extension of our pathways, the Bulldogs will make their start against the Ryde Eastwood Hawks tonight (6:30pm AEDT).
The Ron Massey Cup is a semi-professional Rugby League competition named after former Rugby League coach, Ron Massey. The competition dates back to 1963 and this year, in 2023, will feature nine teams as the Bulldogs make their entry.
As the Club continues to build on its' Academy and pathway programs, the competition entry will ensure all players within the program will be provided with more opportunities to play in a Bulldogs jersey.
Bulldogs Ron Massey Coaches Simon Greaves and Mitch Lewis have named a youthful but experienced side, who will take their learnings from the Jersey Flegg and SG Ball Cup competitions, into tonight's Round 1 match at Hammondville Oval, Moorebank. Team list below.
