2023 Season Rugby Report

Rugby Report

Friday night saw a very successful presentation Night held at the Rugby Club and for the first time the boys and girls teams took part. It was great to see plenty of family members there to support the future players if they remain in Barraba.

With the rep honours some of these players gained during the season, the small community can be proud of the standard and the potential that this area can produce.
