Group 10 is a rugby league competition in the Central West area of New South Wales, under the auspices of the New South Wales Rugby League. It had been under the control of Country Rugby League but that changed after the NSWRL agreed to a new constitution and the CRL voted to wind up its affairs immediately. The decisions was made on 19 October 2019 and the merger means that the aim of a unified administration of the sport in NSW was achieved over a year ahead of time.{{cite news |url=https://www.manningrivertimes.com.au/story/6450916/country-rugby-league-merge-with-nsw-rugby-league-is-official/?cs=1593 |title=Country Rugby League merge with NSW Rugby League is official |work=Manning River Times |date=23 October 2019 |access-date=23 October 2019}}
Ahead of the 2022 season, the Group 10 and Group 11 competitions merged to form the Western Premiership.[https://www.parkeschampionpost.com.au/story/7591462/clubs-and-officials-relieved-as-peter-mcdonald-premiership-draw-is-finally-set/ Schedule for 2022 Peter McDonald Premiership finally confirmed] in Parkes Champion Post 24 January 2022
Origin and formation
At the end of the 1946 representative campaign, it was Bathurst that was crowned Western Challenge Cup premiers after finishing ahead of Lithgow, Orange and Oberon in the four-team group. The team's 7–0 win against Oberon in the final match of the round-robin competition in August at the Bathurst Sportsground saw the team finish the campaign undefeated.
Group 10 would meet two months later but Group 10 secretary Harley Brazil put forward a radical proposal, which alter the future of rugby league in the Central West region. Brazil put forward a "scheme" for an inter-town competition, with a goal to kick off in 1947. Brazil's idea was to see the leading eight teams in the Group (Bathurst Railway, Bathurst Waratahs, Lithgow Small Arms Factory, Lithgow Western Suburbs, Oberon, Orange Our Boys, Orange Waratahs and Portland) participate in the competition.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article161322669 |title=GROUP 10 |newspaper=National Advocate |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=14 October 1946 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=2 |via=Trove }}
When the districts met in February, not everyone accepted Brazil's proposal, which become referred to as the 'Brazil plan' by the local press. Representatives from Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Mudgee, Oberon, Blayney and Portland would debate over three proposals for several hours. The three proposals mentioned in the Lithgow Mercury on 26 February 1947 included:
- The 'Brazil plan': The leading clubs from the major districts competing in an inter-town club competition.
- The 'Bathurst proposal': An inter-district competition with games played every two weeks, to permit the local competitions to be played on alternative weeks. Winners of the inter-district competition would receive a prize of £100 and the Western Challenge Cup.
- The 'Orange proposal': Rugby league would conduct the same way it was in the 1946 season, with the Western Challenge Cup to be played for at least every three weeks.
Ultimately, it was the 'Brazil plan' that was adopted by 10 votes to eight but it was quickly followed by opposition from Orange and Bathurst.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220761973 |title=Rugby League |newspaper=Lithgow Mercury |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=24 February 1947 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=3|via=Trove }}
Issues continued and by Group 10's annual general meeting on 16 March, tensions reached boiling point between Orange and Bathurst and the other leagues. According to the Lithgow Mercury, Bathurst and Orange were granted permission to conduct their own competitions, independent of the new inter-town club tournament.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220759135 |title=RUGBY LEAGUE |newspaper=Lithgow Mercury |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=19 March 1947 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=4 |via=Trove }}
Brazil's plan for a new inter-town club competition was thrown into turmoil, with only four teams nominating, well below the secretary's eight-team dream. At the Group's meeting on 7 April, only Lithgow Small Arms Factory, Lithgow Western Suburbs, Oberon Tigers and Portland Colts had put their hands up for the new competition.
The first ever games in Group 10 had been locked in for Sunday, 13 April. Wests would play Oberon in Lithgow, while Portland would host Factory. Both games would kick-off at 3.15pm, with curtain-raisers the local Lithgow first grade competition games. Match reports in the Lithgow Mercury indicate Wests overcame the Tigers 17–3.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220758887 |title=Portland And Wests In Group Competition Wins |newspaper=Lithgow Mercury |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=14 April 1947 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=2 |via=Trove }} C. Hallam scored the first try for Wests, which may have been the first ever try scored in the competition. In the other match, Portland downed Factory 14–7. Factory won the inaugural premiership by defeating Portland 17–7 in the grand final.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220763554 |title=RUGBY LEAGUE |newspaper=Lithgow Mercury |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=8 September 1947 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=2 |via=Trove }}{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220756648 |title=Rugby League |newspaper=Lithgow Mercury |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=11 September 1947 |access-date=26 May 2020 |page=6 |via=Trove }}
