Week 1 – Qualifying and Semi Finals – Season 2024

We have made it to Finals at last!

After finishing top of the ladder, our Under 14s will play on Saturday with the three senior grades. The other junior sides will all play on Sunday after finishing second or third. If they win this weekend, the junior sides will then all play in their Grand Finals at Barossa on Sunday August 18th.

All senior sides finished the season as minor premiers. This means they will all play on Saturday, with the chance to advance directly to the Grand Final at Bailey Reserve on August 24th.

We look forward to everyone getting down to Onkaparinga this weekend for a thrilling weekend of rugby… and the chance for all our teams to move into their Grand Finals!

Player Milestones

The last couple of weeks of the season saw a rush of player milestones! Several of our young players have reached 50 games recently, and we would like to congratulate George Booth, Aiden Brusnahan and Jack Taylor on reaching the mark. Well done, and we look forward to many more games for Brighton!

Last Saturday also saw a senior player, coach and committee member reach 200 games for the club. Congratulations to Noel Murtagh! Even better, Noel may soon be joined by several other senior players reaching 300, 400 and even 500 games…
