We are very excited to announce the inaugural year of The Eastwood Rugby Academy. This is an exciting initiative developed in partnership between Eastwood Juniors and Eastwood Seniors and fully supported by SJRU and NSW Juniors.
This is in addition to our recent sponsorship announcement for Eastwood Juniors of; Zip, Pickles and Sinalli over a 5 year period. We have decided to align our playing uniform to the Eastwood Seniors uniform along with developing a range of supporters gear. A brand new website which will be hosted by Sinalli will be made available in the coming weeks where people will be able to purchase selective gear. Please find attached the designs of the new gear. We have also been able to confirm via our own historian John Woodford that Eastwood Juniors was established in 1959, we have therefore added this important milestone to the collar of the playing jumper and under the logo on the shorts. We feel it is important to be linked to our history, particularly as we move our new HQ in Castle Hill in 2023.
