Albion Junior Rugby

Our Albion yr6 lads playing for Southland Country today down at Oreti Park. They came away with a good win against Southland Metro

What a great turn out last night to celebrate all the great rugby our kids have played this season!

2026 season has been great, we've seen the kids go from strength to strength on the field, building great friendships & respect for each other. We are especially proud of how well our Albion kids welcomed & blended with kids from Riversdale & that surrounding community to create a strong A grade team.

With the support from you all we managed to run a very successful fundraiser & raffle - this is a huge help to running costs of the club, new training & field equipment, as well as being able to continue to provide mouthguards to all our kids ☺️

We ask you to continue to support our sponsors when you can - their contributions are a HUGE part of running the club.

The kids are lucky to have an excellent bunch of coaches that devote their time & energy running around the countryside to guide & support them through their sport 🏉

We are excited & looking forward to seeing all current & new Albion players next year 🙌

Here's our Albion yr6 boys representing Eastern at Winton today 🔴🟡⚫️

Winning 3 from 3 🙌

Southland Carbon yr7&8 travelled to Athol to take on Mossburn yesterday.

Was a great experience to play on a field that rarely gets played on anymore so thanks heaps to the organisers for inviting us to play there.

Luckily that white stuff stayed up on the hills ❄️🥶

Here are some great shots of our yr6 Albion team in action yesterday 🔴🟡⚫️

They played absolutely awesome & had 3 wins & 1 draw 🙌 Unfortunately it came down to points differentiation & they missed the semi final by only 2 tries.

Well done kids for giving it your all

The yr4 team had an awesome morning today at the 7s tournament.

Played their best rugby of the year including an epic come-from-behind-win with a try to win it in the last minute 🔥🔥

They were sat top of the pool halfway through the morning but unfortunately didn’t quite have luck or the results go our way in the last couple of games.

Every player played so well though!

Our yr3 - 1st yr tackle team - had a cracker day at Millers flat today. Despite been thrown some new, fast rules & being up against some strong teams, they gave it their best, had fun & only grew stronger as the day went by 🙌

🏉 Millers Flat Tournament Info 🏉

We've had a few people be in touch about the draw for this weekend - we won't have official draw/games times until a couple days prior unfortunately. Your coaches will be in touch with that info as soon as we have it.

In the meantime here are some things to consider & learn if this is your first year attending 😊

🔴 Please allow yourself plenty of time to get there as there is a lot of traffic & you need to find a park.
🟡 Games kick off on the buzzer regardless of whether teams are ready or not so please get there early.
⚫️ Each team will have a base for the day where all gear can be kept together & where children can wait in between games.
🔴 There are lots of food & drink trucks at the site but please come prepared with snacks & water so children have something to grab if quick turn around between games.
🟡 Bring lots of warm clothes as could be a frosty start. Warm kids are happy kids, & happy kids give it their all.
⚫️ Bring a chair - lots of waiting time so good to have somewhere to sit up off the ground.

This is an awesome event & we are all excited to see the kids get out on the field again & go up against some kids outside the Eastern Southland region 🙌
