After a pre-season that for some started in January, the Junior Unicorns will hit the pitch this week, with Round 1 across all Grades, from U6 to U18. This year the Club has welcomed more than 40 new Unicorns, with many in their first ever season of rugby. To the girls and boys of all ages, good luck this weekend, and welcome to you and your families as an important part of our Club. For some (hopefully all!) this is the start of a long relationship with our great game. Rugby holds an envied position as a conduit to creating long-lasting friendships, partnerships and links all over the globe between players and supporters.

It was the second game for the Unicorns and the first at home after enjoying a comfortable 40-point away win against Power House in the opening round of the 2016 Direct Connect #DewarShield. They carried their momentum through the Easter break against the visitors, who had a bye in Round One.
