Oberon Junior Rugby League

And that’s a wrap for round one for our little Tiges

U6S
Our littlest Tiges took the field and had a great time. Especially when a balloon flew over head. but they ha d a great game and had a lot of fun.

U7S
Round 1 is done Under 7s had a great little game against Lithgow storm. We played with one player short but that didn't stop our little tigers. Some big efforts where put in from all the team with some excellent diving tags, and some great little tries scored and worked as a team.Wwell done under 7s.

U9S
We kicked off the season on Saturday against Bathurst Panthers Pink. Despite their team having no subs and players nearly twice the size of ours, our kids held their ground with determination and heart.
After a shaky start, we found our rhythm and started applying everything we’ve been working on at training. The effort in defence was especially impressive - huge shoutouts to Jarrod, Zeb, and Skylah for their outstanding one-on-one tackles against some tough competition.
In attack, it was great to see strong ball carries across the board from all our runners - fantastic effort!

A big thank you to our sponsors, parents, and carers for your continued support. It means the world to the team. And lastly, Happy Birthday to Cooper Elwin - hope you had a great day!

U11S
Our mighty under 11s were defeated yesterday. This team is a mix of 10s and 11s and this being their first game as a new team they should be proud of themselves We started out a little slow in the first half with first game nerves. But came out strong in the second half. There were a lot of good hit ups and some great ball work from them all. With Jaxon Corby getting the Player of the week having an outstanding game.

U13S
The boys had a bye this week. We cant wait to see them take the field next week.

U14S LEAGUE TAG
Although our girls were defeated they played extremely well. Most of them taking to the field for the first time ever. Congrats to Shelly and Rose our two try scorers.
