Southern Districts Junior Rugby Union

Big shout out to the Southern Districts players that took part in the PSSA NSW Schools tournament in Mudgee this week.
This photo features players from all 4 of our village clubs at the tournament.
If your player was there, add a photo and tag their club, so they can celebrate it too.

Tag the schools as well, so that they can participate in more local competitions - like the School 7's tournament.
