The worst conditions possible at our own U18 7s tournament today but the determination and toughness of the 1st VII was the difference. An outstanding team effort saw us crowned champions of the inaugural Marc Roberts Shield. On to the Nationals!

Thank you to the U6th. The reason we don’t talk about match results is that it is far more important to focus on the characters that they become. The U6th have been a pleasure to work with and I can categorically say they will be leaving as great people as well as great players!
Day 3🇿🇦🏉- Today the boys enjoyed a hike up Mushroom Rock 🪨 🍄 before they got down to business with their first training session in preparation for the first game tomorrow!
