For more updates on the rugby club, join us on our Facebook and Instagram sites where you can find the latest news, updates and fun!

We hope all the junior teams enjoyed the TRC tournament last weekend. Unfortunately the final day on Sunday had to be cancelled due to the heavy rain, however the Academy will be helping TRC out by hosting the last few games/finals for the U8, U9 and U10 at Dempsey this Saturday. Please look out for updates and notifications from your coach if your child is any of these age groups.

It’s the girls turn this weekend. The Touch girls are taking part in the TRC Touch Tournament this Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September at TRC’s grounds at Turf City. Good luck girls!

KIT

As rugby and touch get back into the swing of things, with the lifting of the restrictions from the past two years, we are very excited to be taking part in many tournaments and friendly games with our fellow junior clubs. If your team is taking part in games, we would kindly ask that you ensure that your child is wearing their full and up-to-date kit. They must wear the latest playing jersey/touch top that they were given which have our sponsors latest logos on them. Please keep the old tops with the old logos just for training.

Our sponsors have generously stood by us during the past 2 years, and we need to honour their contribution and support by wearing the tops that they have sponsored for us.
