Both coaches are feeling positive about the 2020 season and predict that the Bears may be coming into the competition as the underdogs.
With Kandos and Blackheath having a year off and Orange United being new to the competition it gives the Bears a leg up.
The Bears will be the ones to watch out for this season in both rugby league and league tag.
Both coaches have also concentrated on training techniques and self-awareness rather than throwing them into trial games.
These coaches week in and week out turn up on a volunteer basis to coach the game that a lot of Lithgow community members are passionate about.
The Bears Club are preparing for the season with a lot of community activity involvement due to the recent events in Lithgow this includes, mental illness and suicide prevention games against Kandos and other events such as supporting local charities.
The Bears would like to welcome everyone to the Bears games this year and thank the sponsors and supporters who have come on board for the 2020 season.
