Charles Cahill (rugby league)

Charles Lawrence "Chicka" Cahill (28 January 1916 – 14 July 2007) was an Australian premiership-winning rugby league footballer.

He played in the forwards for the Newtown club in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership from 1941 to 1947.

Born in Wickham, New South Wales, Cahill's first senior football was played in the Newcastle Rugby League with the Northern Suburbs club.

His good form continued in the 1944 season, as he helped Newtown become minor premiers and runners-up.

He then coached Newtown from 1959 to 1961, later becoming an administrator at the club, holding the positions of selector, vice-president, secretary and president in the 1960s and 1970s.
