The local Rugby Union season starts this Saturday 15th April. South Coast Monaro Rugby Union has 10 teams competing this year with plenty of interest on how the new team marriage of Batemans Bay & Broulee will perform. In addition Braidwood “Redbacks” return after a season in hibernation plus the competition welcomes Canberra ADFA team.
Clubs Batemans Bay “boars” & Broulee “Dolphins” made the decision to join for season 2023 to not only be more competitive but to keep as many players on the paddock as possible. The two clubs joined in training with no problems to date with good training numbers and player commitment to date exceeding expectations. The team is being co coached by Max Harrison & Bernie Morrision who bring together a wealth of Rugby knowledge. The teams have agreed on a new jersey design that includes both Clubs colours and will play games using both grounds during the season.
The season starts this Saturday as follows;
Batemans Bay Broulee v Bungendore “Mudchooks” @ Hanging Rock Oval, Batemans Bay
Crookwell “Dogs” v Braidwood “Redbacks” @ Crookwell
Jindabyne “Bushpigs” v Yass “Rams” & Jindabyne
