Their first training session was washed out after 60mm of rain fell in the first thirty minutes and a lightning strike close to the Recreational Ground.
Coach Anthony ‘Box’ Hayes said the squad if shaping up very well with good numbers and a great mix of seasoned rugby players and new talent.
The club is looking to build on the form the team displayed at the end of the 2018 season and has its sights set on making the finals.
The club is looking forward to three of our eight home games being played on a Friday evening under lights, with another two of their Saturday home games hoping to combine juniors, womens, Daddy Longlegs and seniors for sponsors and ladies gala days.
With six training sessions before our three-way trial game in Jindabyne against the Jindabyne and Cooma sides, the squad is working hard.
The competition kicks off with an away game against last year's premiers, the Taralga Tigers, at Taralga on March 30.
Anyone interested in joining the squad should contact Nick Pengelly on 0488 519 284.
Training is at the Braidwood Recreational Ground at 6.30pm Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
