Eumundi Dragons’ seniors rugby union recruitment back in full swing

After only being able to play one match in the 2020 season before COVID – 19 restrictions came into force, the newly re-formed Eumundi Dragons’ reserve grade Rugby Union team is eagerly making preparations for the return of community Rugby matches on the Coast in early August.

The team, coached by Dan Cooper ( left of picture ) will start training from 5.15 pm on Thursday evenings at their fields in Black Stump Rd Eumundi. The first session will be on Thursday 18th June.

In their first match against Caboolture on the 14th March the Eumundi team fielded 16 of their own players with reserves from a Gympie team who had played a previous game.

The Dragons are still seeking a couple more players to complete their team roster. Dan Cooper stated that 22-25 players would be an ideal number to cover replacements due to illness, injury or work commitments.

Prospective players, 19 years of age and over are asked to check the club’s Facebook page for relevant details. (Check FB post for 29th February.)

Alternatively, contact the club president, Doug Toms, on 0426 664 293.
