The Canberra Raiders' Jersey Flegg Cup side have emerged as the unlikely saviours of the local rugby league competition to ensure the first grade season kicks off in 2020. The inclusion of the under 20s outfit means the Canberra Raiders Cup is likely to go ahead as a four-team competition while the door is still open for other clubs to make a last-ditch return. Canberra Region Rugby League general manager Mark Vergano is poised to make an announcement on the league's immediate future on Monday. The Raiders under 20s join the Queanbeyan Blues, Gungahlin Bulls and Woden Valley Rams in committing for the 2020 season, slated to begin on July 18. The Goulburn Bulldogs and Yass Magpies opted to withdraw this week, with the West Belconnen Warriors, Queanbeyan Kangaroos, Belconnen Sharks and Tuggeranong Bushrangers already pulling out.
