After starting the season well, Churchie won their final four matches to claim a share of the GPS premiership with Nudgee and TSS in 2022.

A number of players from that side return again in 2023 and coach Ryan Schultz appears confident that his side will be in the mix, despite struggling for form through the trial period.

Overview with Ryan Schultz: 

“We’re confident heading into round one on the back of a good preseason. We’ve been training hard for quite a while now and we want to build off the back of the good results the program had last year,” Schultz told Rugby News. 

“It’s been a bit of a different trial period. We haven’t really had the results that we would have liked, but we don’t play trials for results, we play them to learn and grow as individuals and as a team and we think we’ve been able to do that.
