The club is also looking for referees for the competition who will be paid for the games they do.

It introduced the 7s format of touch rugby last year, which is gaining popularity worldwide and has become an Olympic sport.

The club is also celebrating recent successes of its women’s team and junior players.

The Wanneroo Divaz defeated the Kalamunda Kweens 23-22 in the season grand final in August.
