Three junior rugby union teams from Gunnedah competed at the two-day TAS Rugby Carnival in Armidale during the recent school holidays.

Teams travelled from the Sunshine Coast as well as the NSW Southern Highlands, and many coastal and inland areas in between.

Gunnedah’s U12 boys finished runners-up in their division, having played 15-a-side while Gunnedah’s U14 and U16 girls acquitted themselves well as they played rugby 7s.

The club’s treasurer Fiona Johnson said, “There was some fantastic rugby played over the weekend by all of our players.”

The carnival was a great way to prepare for the rugby season, with Gunnedah’s youth teams playing their first games this Friday before the junior teams have a gala day in Walcha on May 11.
