Warringah won just four matches in 2023 and finished a disappointing 11th. But while times were tough in the grade program, the club’s colts program, run by newly appointed first grade coach Josh Holmes, went from strength to strength.

After coaching Warringah to a first colts premiership last year, the former Rats halfback has taken on the top job and has been hard at work over summer reshaping the Warringah playing roster.

Overview with Josh Holmes:

“Things are looking pretty good at the moment. We had a good February and had some success with our Sevens side at Hamilton and Kiama,” Holmes told Rugby News.

“We also played a trial against the Waratahs before their season kicked off and drew with them 7-7 in the half we played, which was a good result.
