Congratulations to all the girls involved and good luck!

NSW Rugby 7’s U17’s State Championships

It takes commitment after getting glammed up for your Year 10 formal only to travel to Bowral hours later to compete in the NSW Rugby 7's U17's State Championships.  But Lucy Green, Sienna Limpic and Caitlin Rodgers have done just that, and led the Mid North Coast Tomahawks to win the shield in their finals category.

All three played stunning and skilled rugby with Lucy converting a massive nine goals and Sienna and Caitlin scoring tries with many strong line breaking moments.

Lucy received the Mid North Coast Tomahawks’ Best and Fairest award for her efforts throughout the weekend gala day comp.  Their coach, Lisa Vogal, said all three should be very proud of their determination, courage, and great Rugby Union game maturity.

Well done girls!
