Two special moments in two weekends have highlighted what Southbridge Rugby Club is all about — family, community, and generations sharing the game we love.

Last weekend, Philip and Save Cavalevu had the privilege of taking the field together for our Premier Men’s side, and yesterday Cowan and Matt Estall shared the field for our Division 2 team.

Seeing fathers and sons play alongside each other is something truly special and a reminder of what makes our club so unique. As a family club with strong community connections, moments like these mean a lot to everyone involved.

Congratulations to both families on creating memories that will last a lifetime.
