Spotlight on: Bulimba Riverside Junior Rugby Club

This week the Reds have a bye and so it made sense to feature a great local club in Brisbane - Riverside Juniors! For all Reds fans, club rugby is the lifeblood of the sport in Queensland, so make sure you’re getting down to your local club as often as you can. Grassroots is what it's all about!

Bulimba Riverside is a Junior club that started in 2004 as an "alternative" to larger clubs in Brisbane. The young people train every Friday night and there was a great atmosphere on the grounds and in the clubroom. There was a BBQ and drinks for sale, catering for the many young families in the greater Peninsula area.

It was good to see all of the juniors training hard, including, for the first time, 3-5 year olds who were running and learning ball-handling skills.

No doubt, there are some future Reds and even future Wallabies in this club, right now!

It was great to meet some of the coaches, the club president Andrew (nice guy!) and of course the great young players themselves. Also, it was great to hear our old mate, the lovely Maddy Maquire sing some tunes for everyone in the clubroom.

You can check out their club website here. New members are always welcome!

Go Riverside !!!!!
