An exciting, new Under 23’s competition kicks off this Friday night, showcasing some of Perth rugby’s best up-and-coming talent.
The idea was conceived when local Perth clubs indicated, through an end-of-season survey, their desire for a new and exciting 10-a-side non-traditional competition to give Perth’s young stars an opportunity to perform on another stage.
The competition will run over three weeks and will use the same rule changes as the Buildcorp National Rugby Championship (NRC) with the competition culminating with the grand final as a curtain-raiser to the Perth Spirit’s against the Sydney Stars at Joondalup’s HBF Arena on Sunday, 28 September.
The teams include Wanneroo, UWA, Associates, Southern Lions, West Scarborough, Kalamunda, Mandurah and Palmyra, with an aim to enable players, coaches and administrators to become further embedded with their clubs in what is a crucial developmental step for promising local talent.
