Massive game this weekend as the boys look for redemption against Midlands this time at home with the Hamilton Shield back on the line. 3pm kickoff. The team found some great results in round 1 placing them in Division 2 for the next round.

This week we congratulate Ben Ellis on 50 senior games. Ben began his rugby at Central Pirates in 2008 as a D Grade player and continued right through until heading to Boys High. In 2022 Ben returned to the club as a senior player and since then has been a staple in our backline ⚫️
