Congratulations to Lane Cove Rugby Colts, premiers for 2016, recently taking home the NSW Suburban Rugby’s Radford Cup  after defeating Oatley 26-22 in a thriller at Tantallon Oval.

This  Colts team, the first Lane Cove Under 21 side for almost 50 years, was formed just three years ago and in that short time, under the guidance of coach Lloyd KIrby-Bailey became an accomplished premiership winning side. They chose the Grand Final to play at their absolute best in front of an enthusiastic crowd of 600 which included Sue McQualter and Libby Radford, daughters of the recently deceased Ed Radford, for whom the competition is named.

Will Daly, nominated for NSWSRU Colt of the Year turned the match with a magnificent field goal from long range. Capably led by captain Ben Copping and inspired by Jamie Cheok’s brilliant display at full back the team overcame a very strong and physical Oatley side in a match considered by many as a classic Grand Final.

Lane Cove Rugby is looking to expand their number of competing teams in 2017 and combined with Lane Cove Junior Rugby’s premiership winning Under 17  side the future for U21 Colts Rugby in Lane Cove looks strong.
