CRRL Nominated for CBR Sports Award

Canberra Region Rugby League has been named a finalist for the 2026 Canberra Sports Awards in the Innovation Category. 

For the second consecutive year, the CRRL has successfully been nominated in the Innovation category, for the expanded coverage of the Canberra Raiders Cup and Katrina Fanning Shield Competitions. 

In 2026, the commentary team expanded to six members, led by lead commentator James 'Sully' Sullivan, was joined by Brodie Campbell, Stuart John, Jason Tennent, Declan Connell and Sunny Singh. 

Through this expansion, the CRRL commentated 90% of our Canberra Raiders Cup Competition rising from 18 regular season games to 66 this year, whilst the Katrina Fanning Shield saw an increase of 80% from three matches in 2025 to 39. 

The CRRL would like to congratulate fellow nominees Dragonboat ACT and ACT Triathlon and looks forward to attending the CBR Sports Awards on 26 November.
