2023 Rugby prizegiving

By OBHS Rugby Club | Posted: Wednesday October 11, 2023

On Sunday, 8 October the OBHS Rugby Club held their end of season prizegiving.

It was a huge success and an occasion to celebrate the boys individual and team achievements while recognising their contributions to the club.

Congratulations to our award recipients and players on a great season. Be proud of yourselves, your achievements, your team mates and what you brought to the hoops this year.

Thank you to our rugby families for your support throughout the season. To our coaches, the time you have spent with the boys creates skills, mana and memories that last a life time. You are an asset to our rugby programme and a huge part of the hoops.
