And a huge congratulations to Tara, Chase and Howie on being named Life Members. A pretty special honour for three people who have given so much of their time to the Stags over the years. Very well deserved.

Awesome effort boys, go hard and enjoy it. Do Tassie and the Stags proud! 🟢🟡

🏆 GRAND FINAL WINNERS — THREE IN A ROW 🏆

STAGS 29 — TAROONA 22

What an absolute stellar performance from our U18 boys today. They got the job done against Taroona in a cracking Grand Final, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

A massive shoutout to our Grand Final MVP, Phoenix Simpson. An outstanding performance and very well deserved.

Three in a row for the Stags!

It was unreal to see the Stags community out in force today, getting around the boys and reminding everyone what club rugby is all about.

So proud of you boys. What a way to finish the season.

BLACK & WHITE ALLLL the way 🫡💪🦌

That’s a wrap!

The boys had their last home session last night and now there’s only one job left. Grand Final tomorrow!

Kick-off is 10:55am at Rugby Park.

Roadworks are happening on Selfs Point Road and parking will be a bit tight, so give yourself an extra 15 minutes or so to get in and snag a spot.

Weather’s looking alright too, around 15 degrees and looking dry. So chuck on the black and white, bring a deck chair and come get around the boys.

Old players, supporters, new faces, or if you’re just looking for something to do tomorrow morning, come down for a look and remind the boys what being part of a club is all about. The atmosphere is always great!

See ya there 🦌

Come get around our young fellas this weekend! 🫡🦌

A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO OUR 2026 SPONSORS 🦌

A massive thank you to all the businesses who have donated, contributed and supported the Glenorchy Stags throughout the 2026 season.

Sport is about so much more than what happens on the field. A club should be a place where people from all walks of life can turn up, feel safe, feel welcome and know they belong — no matter where they’re at in life.

It’s about mateship, looking out for each other and building a club that feels more like a family.

Wins and losses come and go, but having a place where people feel they belong is what really matters.

None of that happens without the businesses and people who get behind us.

To all our 2026 sponsors — thank you for backing the Stags and helping us provide that place for our community.

U18s — GRAND FINAL BOUND

Friday night the boys got the job done with a 43–24 win and have officially secured their spot in next week’s Grand Final.

It’s been an interesting road to the big dance, with the competition coming down to two teams… so thankfully our chances of making the Grand Final were looking good 😂

Let's get around the lads for a 3-peat 💪

Grand Final next week— stay tuned...
