There was much excitement at the Elsburg Eagles Youth Rugby Club, last Saturday, when players, coaches, committee members and supporters were rewarded for their hard work throughout the season.<\/p>\n

The u-7 team was particularly pleased when they won the coveted trophy for Team of the Year.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Their coaches, Alwyn Venter, Belinda Venter and Andr\u00e9 Beyleveld, were thrilled with the win.<\/p>\n

Before the prize-giving commenced the club also held its AGM and the committee was reelected with no changes for the next two years.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The club has grown by 262 per cent in 2015 and is looking forward to increasing the number of players for 2016 and in the years to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had huge success in our games over the last season and are a future winning club for players in all age groups in the Valke region,\u201d said chairman Tyron Smuts.<\/p>\n

The 2016 season will start with rugby clinics in February, next year.<\/p>\n

The club caters for children from u-6 to u-18.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to help; rugby player or not, we teach children what fun it is to play rugby and always put safety first,\u201d Smuts said.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in joining the club can contact Smuts on 083 285 9470 or email to him at info@elsburgeagles.co.za or tyron.smuts@gmail.com.<\/p>\n
