A fantastic start to the 2026 season with three of our junior teams back out on the field! We’re excited to have our U18s and U9s joining us next week to make it a full club showing.

Our newly formed U11s had their first hit-out, with many players brand new to rugby. The team showed incredible heart and determination, going down 29–14, but their effort and enthusiasm were outstanding. Huge potential in this group and we’re excited to watch them grow throughout the season.

The U13s were exceptional, delivering a dominant performance with a convincing 40–0 win over the Wombats. Strong across the park, they set the tone for what looks to be a very promising season ahead.

Our U16s started superbly, holding Camden to 14–10 at halftime with a strong first-half performance. With only 15 players available and up against a squad of 30, the boys had no fresh legs in the second half and Camden eventually ran away with it, finishing 54–14. Despite the result, the effort, grit, and resilience shown were something to be proud of, and there’s plenty to build on for a great season ahead.

A great opening round for Shoalies Juniors—plenty of positives, strong team spirit, and lots to look forward to next week!
