The committee with a majority vote from the players and supporters has approved the decision to field two even first grade sides this season.
The selection details of the two sides will follow next week, with the two squads named in the first week of March, Coffs Harbour Rugby Club president Matt Quirk said.
The equal team format will provide some entertaining rugby when the two teams meet for the first time in late April.
While some believe it has slightly reduced our chance of beating some of the top teams on the Mid North Cost, the club and its players believe the two teams can make the semi-finals, Quirk said.
We have some very good players joining the club in 2009 from both the junior ranks, returning players and guys that have moved to town.
However, it will be a very tough year against teams like 2008 title holders Port Pirates, but we are looking forward to the challenge.
In addition to the two equal teams, each side has been named the Coffs Rugby Crushers and the Coffs Rugby Breakers.
However, the club name will remain as Coffs Rugby. The under-19 years will follow the Crushers.
Quirk said the coaching staff would be announced next week soon.
Coffs Rugby is back training at Rugby Park on Hogbin Drive every Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm for anyone interested in seniors and under-19s.
