About
Organised by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Singleton Volunteer Support Group as an annual fundraising event the A-Plus Contracting Hunter Valley Mining Charity Rugby League Knockout Competition has grown to become a premier charity rugby league competition held in the New South Wales, Hunter Valley region.
The charity competition brings together over 400 coal mining employees from throughout the Hunter Valley and beyond to represent their respective mine sites. Each team compete in a 10's style competition until one team is crowned champions and presented with the Charity Shield. The day also includes a 'Women In Mining' series within the days program.
Apart from what is ‘state of origin’ worthy rugby league action, there is always plenty of excitement, entertainment and fun for all spectators including young fans with jumping castles, amusement rides, face painting and giveaways throughout the day. The event is this perfect for the family or a social get together with friends to enjoy plenty of action and entertainment.
Since 2014 the event has raised $292,000 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service ensuring it is ready to respond 24-7.
