Peter McDonald Premiership updates
Overview
On July 25, 2026, the Macquarie Raiders staged a dramatic comeback to beat Dubbo CYMS 20–18 in a derby that also served as a memorial for former player Perry Meredith and promoted mental-health awareness. The victory marked the Raiders' first derby win in over a decade.
A week later, on August 2, 2026, Dubbo CYMS rebounded by defeating Orange CYMS 26–24 at Apex Oval. A disputed try early in the final minutes was ruled out, but Dubbo responded with an 80-metre drive culminating in a try by Bayden Searle and a decisive conversion. The win secured Dubbo a top-two position in the Peter McDonald Premiership.
During Round 15, Dubbo CYMS continued its momentum with a dominant 62–0 victory over the Wellington Cowboys. The Macquarie Raiders also secured a win, defeating the Parkes Spacemen 26–12. Other notable results included Bathurst St Pat's defeating the Orange Hawks 36–18, and the Forbes Magpies earning a narrow two-point win against the Nyngan Tigers to remain in the top five.
