A couple of ruck Woodrow Medalists 💪💪

Just the eighth tie in the 100-year history of the Woodrow, and the first since Harry Hill (Old Brighton) and Gus Borthwick (Old Melburnians) finished locked together in 2022.

Mitch Lloyd 🤝 Jack Hayter

Uni Blues have produced consecutive Men’s Rising Star winners, with Jack Hayter following in the footsteps of 2025 recipient Mitch Lloyd!

The pair were both instrumental in the Blues’ William Buck Premier Men’s premiership triumph this season 🏆

It marks the first time since 2018–19 that a club has claimed consecutive Men’s Rising Star honours, when Anthony Zimmerman and Hamish Dick achieved the feat for Old Brighton.
