The Sydney Roosters celebrated their 2025 Junior Representative Award Nights, honouring the achievements of the junior representative players and staff.
Held at Easts Leagues in Bondi Junction, the events marked the culmination of a successful season across the club’s development programs.
The Harold Matts, SG Ball, Lisa Fiaola, and Tarsha Gale sides were celebrated over two nights.
A major highlight of the evening was the celebration of the Roosters’ 2025 SG Ball Cup premiership win. Coach Boyd Cordner spoke of the exceptional skill, resilience, and teamwork throughout the season, culminating in an unforgettable grand final performance which saw the Roosters snatch victory in extra time.
The premiership is a testament to the club’s strong development system and the dedication of both players and coaching staff. It also reinforces the Roosters' standing as a powerhouse in junior rugby league.
NRL players Sam Walker and De La Salle Va'a were special guests at the awards, speaking about the importance of the pathways program in developing the strength of the Club.
The awards nights served as a celebration of the hard work, discipline, and commitment demonstrated by everyone involved in the club’s pathways systems, reinforcing the club’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of Roosters.
The future is bright at the Roosters, and the 2025 SG Ball triumph is just the beginning.
