See you there! 💪

What an incredible season for our U18 Girls! Finishing 2nd in the Central West Division is an amazing accomplishment, and these girls should be so proud of what they’ve achieved. 🥈👏

Blending two teams always comes with an extra layer of complexity, but this group embraced the challenge and built a strong bond along the way. 💚♥️

We’re so proud of the teamwork, growth, and commitment they showed all season long. 🙌🏉

Congratulations, girls! 💪✨

International matches like this are a fantastic experience for young players, offering the chance to compete against a different style of rugby, build new friendships, and create memories that will last long after the final whistle. A great night of rugby and a valuable experience for everyone involved! ☘️♠

Last game of the season ended with an L but we ended the game strong 💪

Our theme this season was BUILD 🛠️ You can’t build a strong team overnight. This season tested us, but it also showed what we’re made of. With nearly half our team consisting of U18 players, we’ve laid the foundations for something bigger than one season. The wins will come. Right now, we’re building experience, confidence, and a culture that will last for years ☘️

🏆 MVP: Georgia Hayes (15)
👊 Forward: Anita Osamede (1)
🏃‍♀️ Back: Kaitlyn Yu (10)

Fresh look, same pride 💚❤️
