🎉 Happy Birthday Janine! 🎉

Wishing a very happy birthday to our President, Little Rugby & Walla Coach and U10s Manager! 🐍💛🖤🤍

Janine wears plenty of hats around the Vipers and can usually be found somewhere around the grounds — coaching the little ones, helping with the U10s, organising something behind the scenes or cheering on our Vipers kids.

We hope you have a fantastic birthday and manage to enjoy a little bit of time away from all things rugby today! 😂🎂

Happy Birthday Janine! 🥳

THANK YOU, VIPERS COMMUNITY 💛🐍🖤🏉

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Saturday’s Home Carnival happen. From the early morning set-up crew in some pretty wet and wild conditions, to those cooking on the BBQ, working in the kiosk, helping around the grounds and staying behind to pack everything down — our Home Carnivals simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible volunteers who give their time to support our club. We are so grateful to every single person who put their hand up and helped throughout the day. ❤️🐍🏉

We also want to extend a very special thank you to everyone from both the Vipers and Joondalup Brothers who came together so quickly during the medical emergency in our Under 12s game.

In an incredibly difficult and confronting moment, the response from those around the field was immediate, calm and supportive. To everyone who stepped forward to assist Quentin, helped manage the situation, supported those around them or simply did whatever was needed — thank you. We have received an update from Joondalup that Quentin is in good spirits and things are looking positive. And in true Quentin style, he has apparently advised that he is still only 50/50 to referee next week! 😄🏉 From all of the Vipers, we wish Quentin all the very best and hope to see you back on the field referring soon!

Saturday was a very big day for our club, and once again it showed just how special the rugby community can be when people come together and look after one another.

For anyone who was affected by what happened on Saturday, free and confidential counselling support is also available to members of our Vipers community through True Sport. Please reach out to the club if you would like the details, or visit the True Sport website to access support.

Thank you again to our volunteers, our families, Joondalup Brothers and everyone who stepped up when it mattered most. 💚🖤💛

Community Bank Bullsbrook-Ellenbrook

We are incredibly proud to announce that the Ellenbrook Vipers Rugby Union Club has been awarded the Game On, Girls Grant, proudly supported by the WA Government.

This grant is so much more than funding. It’s an investment in the future of girls rugby at the Vipers and an opportunity to create more pathways for girls aged 13–17 to participate, develop confidence, build leadership skills and feel like they belong in our rugby community 🏉💖🐍

Over the next 12 months, we’ll be delivering our Girls Rugby Development Program, , with a focus on increasing participation, improving retention, building confidence and creating stronger pathways for girls aged 13–17. The program will include initiatives around:

🏉 Girls rugby participation and recruitment
💪 Skill development and confidence
🤝 Inclusive and welcoming environments
⭐ Leadership and mentoring
📈 Long-term pathways in rugby

This is just the beginning!

We’re excited to build on the fantastic foundation our U13 Girls team has already created and continue providing opportunities for the next generation of female rugby players.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the grant application, particularly Kylie, Chelsea, and our Executive Committee, whose collaboration helped make this possible. This is a wonderful result for the Vipers and an exciting step forward for our girls program 🐍💖🏉

If you have a passion for girls rugby and would like to help shape and deliver this exciting program, we’d love to hear from you. Complete the Expression of Interest form to join our Girls Rugby Development Program Working Group: https://forms.gle/qiYVRPGLYuuzzupd6

Together, we’re not just growing girls rugby—we’re helping shape its future.

💛🖤🐍

Proudly supported by the WA Government.
