All personified in this list, and we are so proud of them 🤝
Good things happening with the Bulls Community in the East.

This week’s newsletter is packed with plenty happening around the club as we head into another big weekend for Linwood.

We’ve got Junior Rugby fixtures for Saturday, details on our home semi-finals against Te Aratai College, an update on the upcoming Junior Prizegiving, and a special plug for the Matadors Fundraising Quiz, which is already attracting plenty of interest.

And of course, Senior Prizegiving is tomorrow night! It’s always one of the highlights of the year and a great opportunity to come together, recognise the achievements of our teams and individuals, and celebrate another season in green and black.

A huge weekend ahead — good luck to everyone taking the field, and we look forward to celebrating with many of you tomorrow night! 🟢⚫
