One of the highlights of the Rugby 1st 2019 Girls NSWJRU State Championships was the “Rugby 1st Spirit of Rugby Medal”.

All our female representative players that were competing at Boronia Park, Hunters Hill on the first two days of the Rugby 1st 2019 Girls NSWJRU State Championships were eligible. This is across all age groups U13, U15 & U17 and the award went to the girl that most exhibits the skills, passion and spirit that has made women’s rugby such a growth sport in Australia.

The winner of the award was decided by a selection panel of some of our finest junior rugby Rep selectors.

Rugby 1st are proud to announce that the 2019 ““Rugby1st Spirit of Rugby Medal” winner was Ambryn Haua Murphy from the Southern Districts U15 team. The award was presented by former Wallaby & Rugby 1st Director Adrian “Moose” Skeggs and former Walleroo Mollie Gray.

Adrian made comment that “It was a great privilege to have Wallaroo Mollie Gray pictured with Ambryn to present the award and give the girls a great motivational speech of her journey to becoming a Wallaroo. Massive thanks to Rhino Rugby and Experience Sport for donating the prize”.

NSW Juniors would like to thank Rugby 1st, Adrian "Moose"Skeggs, Angus Stewart and Alex Lyus for creating this initiative and all their support of the junior girls game.

Ambryn wins a trip for 2 to Brisbane, including airfares, accommodation and A Grade tickets to the Wallabies Test v Argentina on Saturday 27 July.  This fantastic prize was organized by Rugby 1st in association with their partners Rhino Rugby and Experience Sport.

Congratulations Ambryn – keep up the good work and enjoy the trip to Brisbane.
