Junior awards day celebrated the development and success of our youth section.
With 250 youth members from age 2 to 17, our youth section is thriving and the awards day was a great opportunity to bring everyone together to reflect on a great season.

Congratulations to all the award winners - both the children who've won awards for their commitment to rugby and it's values, and our amazing volunteers who were recognised for the contribution they make towards the club. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything the youth section does and we're so grateful for everyone who gives their time to the club.

A special mention to this year's Team of the Year- the U16 Boys Buckers team- a collaboration with Uckfield. All the boys in the team from both clubs have really embodied the values of rugby this season and we're incredibly proud of them and the example they set to younger age groups. Next season this group will become the clubs first Colts team in around 15 years. A very well deserved Team of the Year!
