Under 14 Boys Rugby: A Brave Start with Big Potential

The Under 14 Boys Rugby team faced their toughest challenge yet in their season opener, taking on the top side in the league. For many of our players who are mostly Year 7s, it was their first experience with full-contact rugby, and the difference in size, strength, and experience was immediately clear.

Despite being overwhelmed early on, the boys showed remarkable courage and resilience. As the game progressed, you could see them begin to gel as a team, finding their rhythm and producing moments of brilliance with big tackles, determined runs, and flashes of teamwork that lifted everyone’s spirits.

Although the scoreboard didn’t fall in our favour, this young team showed immense potential and character. With every match, they’ll only grow stronger. Keep an eye on this squad there’s a bright future ahead for our boys
