The Under 12 rugby team has enjoyed a fantastic season, culminating in an undefeated campaign and the title of BMAC Champions.

Throughout the season, the boys competed in three friendly fixtures before finishing with the BMAC Championship tournament. From the very first training session, the squad demonstrated a willingness to learn, work hard, and support one another. This was particularly impressive given that several players were completely new to rugby at the beginning of the year.

As the season progressed, the team’s development was evident across all aspects of the game. Their passing became more accurate, their decision-making around the ruck improved, and they grew in confidence in both attack and defence. One of the most noticeable improvements was in their tackling technique. This new found confidence was on full display during the final, where many of the boys produced some outstanding tackles and showed great courage in defence. Most importantly, throughout the season they embodied the core values of rugby—respect, teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

The players approached every training session and match with an outstanding attitude. They consistently challenged themselves to improve, listened carefully to feedback, and always put the team first. These qualities were a major factor in their success and helped create a positive and enjoyable environment throughout the season.

Mr Thatcher and I thoroughly enjoyed coaching this group throughout the season. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch their development as rugby players and teammates. We are extremely proud of what they have achieved and look forward to seeing them continue their rugby journey in the years ahead.

Congratulations to all our Uner 12 players on a memorable season and a well-deserved BMAC Championship!
