The Butcher Boys travel to Old Bar on Saturday, taking part in a series of pre-season matches (seniors, old boys, ladies tag) for the inaugural Joel Dark Cup.
Clubs from neighbouring areas, Newcastle Rugby League and Group 3 respectively, coming together to honour the memory of a former player.
"Old Bar have put on a really good day and it's something as a club we want to play our part in. It's a very special day for everyone involved. Footy's irrelevant, it's about being together as two clubs," Bettridge told the Newcastle Herald.
The Butcher Boys have singed both Logan Radzievic and Tyrone Nean for 2024.
