Overview

The Peter McDonald Premiership entered its qualifying finals stage in August 2026. In a major upset, the Macquarie Raiders defeated the minor premiers, Mudgee, with a score of 22-8 at Club Mudgee Stadium. Despite playing with only 12 men for a portion of the second half due to a sin-binning, the Raiders maintained their lead through tries from Wyndham Peachey and Tyson Fuller. The loss leaves Mudgee facing do-or-die football to remain in the competition.
