Bathurst Junior Rugby Club

One week since we came together to celebrate our players and reflect on what has been an incredible season 💙💛

So much to be proud of, not only in the way our juniors have played, but in the growth, confidence and friendships built along the way. The progress across every age group in just one season has been so special to watch.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, coaches, managers, volunteers, families and everyone who has backed the Bulldogs throughout 2026. A junior club simply doesn’t run without the people who give their time, energy and support so generously, and every contribution has helped make this season what it was.

What a year it’s been. Enjoy the off-season, Bulldogs! We can’t wait to see everyone back in 2027 for another season of footy, fun and plenty more memories 🐶🏉

🐶 A Proud Moment for Our Young Bulldog 💙💛

We’re incredibly proud to recognise one of our young Bulldogs, Hugo Bird, who was awarded the Tom Hooper Award at our recent Presentation Day.

Today, he received a very special surprise when Tom Hooper himself took the time to visit and personally congratulate him on receiving the award. 👏🏉

It was a wonderful surprise and a fantastic opportunity for our young Bulldog to meet the person behind the award and hear some words of encouragement from Tom himself.

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! and a huge thank you to Tom for taking the time to visit and make the occasion even more special. Wallabies NSW Junior Rugby Union Central West Junior Rugby Union

Happy Father’s Day to our Bulldogs dads! 💙💛

To the dads who are there week in, week out- tying boots, running water, coaching on field and from the sidelines (whether asked or not 😂), firing up the BBQ, packing the car and cheering louder than anyone else, today is for you.

Thank you for the time, encouragement and countless little things you do to make junior rugby possible for our kids.

We’re incredibly lucky to have so many great dads as part of our Bulldogs family.

Happy Father’s Day, Bulldogs! 🐶🏉
