Genuity – Millmerran Power Project

In 2026, the Western Clydesdales initiated the Camp Clydesdale program, which will see literally thousands of kids from all around the Darling Downs & Western Corridor, invited to a 2 or 3 day training & wellness camp in Dalby. This is a joint project being undertaken with the support of the Brisbane Broncos Development Team, and led by two of the games greats in Head of Pathways Darren Burns and one of the all time greats of the women’s game, Ali Brigginshaw.

The camp will cover game aspects, training aspects, wellness aspects and preparing late teenagers for a career option in the sport of rugby league. Leading up to the first Camp Clydesdale, Darren and Ali, again with the support of the Brisbane Broncos Development Team, will co-ordinate coaching clinics in Warwick, Roma, Chinchilla & Dalby to compliment the Camp Clydesdale Program in October and these camps will see hundreds more players & regional coaches, enjoy the clinics hosted by the Western Clydesdales Pathways Team.

This program is one of if not the largest of its type in the sport of rugby league and will provide the youth in our region with a sporting focal point that frequently leads to lasting participation in sport and highlights to them, the great qualities that team environments bring. As the next few years unfold, younger kids from these programs will develop into the Junior Rep’ programs such as the Harvey Norman female competitions the or Cyril Connell Cup or Mal Meninga Cup in the case of the boys.

These competitions are Statewide against all teams, clubs & regions and 2026 saw the Western Clydesdales under 17 girls finish equal second, the under 17 boys finish hard but miss the finals, the Under 19 girls miss the finals by a point and the Under 19 boys miss the finals on for & against. As one of only two clubs in the whole state that do not receive access to players from affiliated (to NRL) clubs, these results have been exceptional and the coaching staff and players deserve enormous credit for setting a standard that we can benchmark .

The growth of our community based club is that we have had more than 40 players being considered in each age group for each team and that trend shows now sign of easing. Rugby League is ever growing in the Western Corridor.
