“Most weeks we’re fielding a full team.”

She said while it hadn’t been their strongest year, reporting few wins for both the men and women, there were plans in the works to grow the club and introduce a committee for the juniors.

“We’re not winning very many games. The club itself is going really well support-wise and sponsorship-wise and all the good stuff,” she said.

“Have we won very many games on either side? No, we’ve won one with our women and one win and one draw with our men.

“We are planning on having a very strong junior committee so that we can increase our juniors and we are looking at running Viva 7s through the summer at the club, which is almost like touch rugby and it’s an Australian Rugby Union initiative.”
