The Blacktown Warriors Rugby Union Football Club (BRUFC) has had a successful history in the past 37 years in the NSW Suburban Rugby Union Competition and the 2016 season is looking to be no exception.
This year, the Club has re-appointed successful 2014 Club Coach, Paul Orland, along with a cast of new and existing coaching staff for each grade. With premierships in all grades in their sites, BRUFC has started strong with good player numbers and a productive pre- season.
Last season, BRUFC fielded three senior grades in the competition, however with the current numbers, there is a possibility of having four senior grades and an under 21s Colts team wearing the black and orange this season.
BRUFC Club President, Scott Riley said the Club is moving forward.
“This year has seen a lot of new players come down to the Club, with plenty of old faces returning for a run giving us strong depth”, Mr Riley added, “The determination which has been shown at pre-season by the players and officials has
been a great indication of the commitment we need to win the comp.”
This commitment has already been rewarded when the 2016 pre-season commenced last Saturday, 27 February at the Hawkesbury 10s tournament where the Warriors entered two teams. Both teams reached the finals series of the tournament with “Team 2” taking out the title with a convincing win over Shute Shield club Parramatta in the final.
This coming week, Saturday 5 March, BRUFC is hosting the NSW Suburban Rugby Union 7s Tournament at their Home Ground, Alwyn Lindfield Reserve in Glenwood. The Club has entered a team into this tournament also, whilst another contingent of players is heading to a trial game at Canterbury. The regular season commences the Saturday after the Easter long weekend.
