Open Boys Rugby League - 2nd March
The Open Boys Rugby League team played in a Gala day at Tom Knight Oval on Tuesday, 2nd March. There were 4 sides that entered into the day, these included Broken Hill High, An Outback Combined team, Nyngan High School and Cobar High School.
 Our first game was against Nyngan and our boys played well but went down 10- 0. We were out muscled in the end. In the second game, we played the Outback Combined side. The boys came into their own and posted numerous tries, including a 5 try effort from Raymond Ebsworth. In the third game, we played the Broken Hill High team and after an early arm wrestle for dominance, our Cobar boys flexed their combined muscle and stamped their authority on the match.
 All the boys performed some outstanding efforts at different stages during the day, Eathan Dunlevy’s backing up in the middle, Jack Thomas’s 80m run away try, Raymond Ebsworth’s dominance in all facets of the game and the most mentionable is Jesci Clark’s efforts in strolling over the try line only to fumble the ball in trying to score. In all it was an enjoyable day, and the boys all played well and were in great spirits.

3rd Round NSW Combined High School Open Boys and Girls Basketball - 12th March
 The first match between the boys was a scrappy affair with the Nyngan team having little experience. Cobar dominated the match from start to finish and were eventual winners by a score of 58-6. There was an equal contribution by all of the players to the teams overall score.
 The match between the girls was much closer, especially early on, with Cobar taking 6-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. With the use of good ball movement by guards Nicola Harbison and Grace Power, Cobar were able to get better shots away later in the game and ran away to be eventual winners by a score of 26-13. Ellie Potter was the top point scorer for Cobar with 12 points.
Cobar will now travel to Bathurst to participate in the round robin section of the tournament. This will take place on the 28th & 29th April (Week 2 Term 2).
