What a cracking start to the 2023 season we enjoyed over the weekend. Our minis were out early on Saturday morning in less than perfect conditions but the smiles on faces were the first sign that Rugby is back and in full swing.
The smiles continued on to Saturday afternoon with Norths Rugby winning the Baxter Mortlock Cup at North Sydney Oval. A cup that is played for each time the local rivals play against one another.
On Saturday night we officially launched the season at the Union Hotel. Thank you to all those who came and contributed to a fantastic evening. It was great to come together with so many Pirate parents to discuss the season and solve all the worlds issues over a few beers and cocktails.
No event happens without some hard working volunteers and special thanks goes to Sally Baker, our events co-ordinator along with James & Kristen Green for making it a great celebration.
On Sunday, after some last minute scrambling for grounds by our dedicated age group managers our Junior teams kicked off their season. What a start it was by our Pirates. We had seven teams playing over the weekend for six wins. That is our best result for an opening weekend since we started to keep records. Keep up the great work.
