The Young Yabbies are on the lookout for a coach for their first grade side for 2026.
The Yabbies won three premierships in 2022, 2023 and 2024 before being bundled out in the finals against Cootamundra at Coota after defeating the Tri Colours the previous week in 2025.
The three-peat of 22-24 highlighted the strength of Rugby in the township, however, the golden run came to an end with some players retiring, some playing another code or some having a year off after a few very ough years where they sat on top of the South West Slopes ladder.
Will Munday was a mainstay as Coach over the last couple of seasons and was hampered by low numbers in 2025. Mundy did everything he could for the side alongside his fellow charges and played Hooker and Inside Centre when the team needed him.
He confirmed he will not coach in 2026 but will play, and is hopeful a coach can be found. Any enquiries can be made to Yabbies President Nick Duff on 0499 566 602.
