2022 Rugby Champs

Miss A Wynne, TIC Rugby —

It has been another fantastic season on the field as our group of enthusiastic rugby players worked together to progress their skills and put on some excellent games across the board.

While navigating a tough season riddled with injuries and the challenges of COVID, our U18 combined team continued to prove that they were a force to be reckoned with. It was no easy feat following on from the 2021 season where this team was unbeaten, however these players rose to the challenge and trained tirelessly to be able to pull out another #1 result. They once again remained unbeaten throughout the 2022 season and faced Craighead in a nail biting final which they won 34-24, awarding them the gold medal. Our U15 combined team also had a great season as they navigated a very fresh side with many students new to the sport. Each game they grew as a team and continued to train to lift their skills and get better. Their resilience on the field was fantastic to watch and they finished the season in 5th place, something to be proud of. A huge thank you to the coaches, management, and parents that gave up their time throughout the past months to allow these students to play rugby and continue to grow as players. Without your support the season truly could not go ahead.
