After falling just short in the 2020 decider, Eastwood were in the mix last season when the competition was cancelled.

Ben Batger has retained the majority of his squad from last season and will be eager to bring another trophy back to TG Milner.

Overview with Ben Batger:

“It’s exciting to be back into it again. Everything looks good so far, but I guess it always does at this point of the season,” Batger told Rugby News.

“It’s been a difficult preseason. You seem to lose a few players every week to Covid, then we had all the rain that impacted training but we’ve managed to make it work by training all over the place, at TG (Milner) and away.

“Now we’re into the trials. We’ve had some good hit outs against Gordon and Uni and we’ve got one more to come against Norths, so it’s all tracking pretty well.
