Despite a forecast of 75mm of rain, Shultz Oval turned it on for a cracker of a Thursday night clash. The Rebels were red hot under the lights, putting on a show for the home crowd with a dominant 59–0 win over Lismore. Nine tries, a rock-solid scrum, and not a single card in sight—champagne rugby at its best.

Sunshine, big hits, and bigger moments! Despite a wild preseason of cancelled trials and sodden fields, the Rebels burst into 2025 with three cracking home games and a huge crowd to match. From a nail-biting win in the Women’s 10s, to a gutsy 2nd Grade victory, and a hard-fought 1st Grade battle, there was no shortage of passion on the paddock.
