A GPS’ junior with storied pedigree, Sebastian ‘Bas’ Ward recently made his premier grade debut at flyhalf, reigniting his team’s season in the process.

The humble Ashgrovian’s instant impact stems from years of zealous dedication to his club and playmaking craft.

Now reaping the rewards as a top-grade player in recent weeks, the No.10 has seen his footballing journey come full circle.

“I’d always go down every Saturday to watch the Premier Grade… back in the day I thought they were superstars and being around it now you’re just a regular bloke,” Ward told Rugby News.
