Competing in the NSW Rugby Premier Club Rugby Competition, known as the Shute Shield, with the women’s team competing in the Jack Scott Cup, players have the opportunity to be identified and selected for Super Rugby and other professional pathways.
Two Blues General Manger Christian Burden says everything the club does is about paving the way forward for the next generation and being accountable for the legacy left behind.
“We are a community club that seeks to be more than just a sporting club, building an environment for our members to enjoy, thrive and achieve, focused on people first,” he said.
“Preparations for 2023 are gearing up well. A major focus for the club is working with our Two Blues Juniors and improving our Youth Program for U20s ensuring we are providing a wonderful Rugby experience for those younger players coming through.”
Club Patron and oldest living Wallaby, Eric Tweedale, 101 (who lends his name to their main playing stadium in Granville Park), is a former player, captain, club president and was instrumental in setting up the Two Blues junior rugby system.
Junior Association President Tim Shand said an exciting development was that Merrylands Juniors would be returning and offering with a Minis competition for U6-U9s next year.
“It’s a great opportunity for all of the young locals and follows the success our juniors have had this year with our U15 Girls being Grand Champions and our U15 boys being runners-up in the Sydney Junior Rugby Union competition,” he said.
Two Blues will kick off the 2023 season on April 1, with registrations open from December 16.
