u19 Boys 2023

This season saw an impressive turnout, with 26 players stepping onto the field to play club rugby for the first time. Despite facing significant challenges—including the absence of 13 regular players at startup and 11 others who missed most of the season due to injury—the squad demonstrated exceptional character, resilience, and determination. While we deeply missed the presence of key players who couldn't join us this year, we were fortunate to see several new and exciting talents emerge. These players filled the gaps left by missing teammates and brought fresh energy, skills, and enthusiasm. Their contributions will play a crucial role in the continued growth and success of Bayside Rugby for years to come.

Blue Team: Although the results in the win column may not fully reflect the effort and spirit shown, it's important to acknowledge that our players fought relentlessly until the final whistle. We faced off against the two top teams on four occasions, each time losing by less than 10 points. These close games highlight our team's competitive nature and ability to challenge even the best opponents week in and week out.

Gold Team: Playing in the newly created Tier 2 pool, the Gold Team excelled with six wins from eight games and narrowly lost to the Axemen in the final. Considering the number of players sent up to the Blue Team due to injuries, Team Gold has far exceeded expectations. The foundation laid this season, will serve as a strong stepping stone for those moving up into senior rugby.
