Avalon Bulldogs A Grade 2025: Three Pittwater A Grade Teams this Season
Avalon Bulldogs Junior Rugby League Club, the Avalon Bulldogs, has teams in every age division from Under 6's, their growing cohort of Females in the blues tag competition open to u12s to u18s, through to an A Grade team this Season.
The return of an A Grade Doggies team has been cause for much celebration and among three Pittwater A Grade teams playing this season, with the Narrabeen Sharks and Mona Vale Raiders also part of the 2024 Northern Open Age Gold competition.
The Northern Gold Competition is a men's rugby league conference competition based in Sydney comprising the districts of Manly Warringah and North Sydney.
There are multiple changes for the 2025 competition. The competition will mostly feature teams from the Manly Warringah district, with 2 teams from the North Sydney district and 1 team from the Eastern Suburbs district.
The return of the Raiders to the A Grade competition comes after a 23-year absence. The team is being coached by former Mona Vale Raiders coaches Steve Wilson and Nathan Gamage, and supported by the Trbojevic brothers, Jake, Tom, and Ben. Their home ground is Newport Oval.
Mona Vale, alike the Doggies and the Narrabeen Sharks JRLFC, have a variety of teams, from U6s to A Grade, including 10 Blue Tag girls teams this Season. The club also has a strong focus on youth development, inclusivity, and alike all Junior Rugby League Clubs, is a family-based club.
A Blues Tag team is an inclusive-style of Rugby League open to players from all backgrounds and abilities, with a focus on improving the players' fundamental skills – catching, passing and in-game communication. Still in its infancy, Blues Tag offerings have seen an influx of new players and volunteers to Junior League clubs.
More on all three of these great local clubs and their respective 2025 A Grade teams over the next few weeks as we head into the heart of the Winter footy Season 2025.
