2023 Saint John Touch Rugby League Champions – NAVY BEANS

The sixth season of the Saint John Touch Rugby League Championship was a Best out of Three contest.  The Orange Octopi had a 1 game lead going into the Championship for finishing 1st Place in the regular season.

Game 2 of the Best of Three was a very close game and the Navy Beans took the win 4-3.  This now tied the Best of Three series at 1 game a piece which means Game 3 will determine the winner of the Championship series.  Scoring for Navy Beans were three tries by Mathieu Doucet with a single try by Lauren Carlisle.  Andrew Feetham had two tries and Lori Soucy had a single try for the Orange Octopi.

Now for the Game 3 winner takes all match, the Navy Beans took a 4-0 victory over the Orange Octopi to claim the Championship.  Mathieu Doucet scored two tries while single tries were scored by Josh Wells (SUB) and Lauren Carlisle.

Congrats to the 2023 Spring Season Champions – NAVY BEANS.

Our inaugural Winter season was back in the Winter 2019 and we unfortunately had to cancel the the Playoffs and Championships because of you know what in March 2020.

So, we are so looking forward to getting out on the pitch (aka Field) again at the Irving Oil Field House.

You have to be at least 18 years of age and the $90 Registration Fee is for 6 weeks (one night/hour per week) which also includes Player Insurance via Touch Rugby Canada. That’s 10 Regular Season games and then the Finals.

Due to field availability and interest in the Winter Season, we are having a Two Team League.

TWO Team League – Teams will play 10 regular season games against each other.  The team with the best record will have a 1 game lead going into the Best of Three Championship games on Fri Mar 31st.

It will be 5 v 5 format and will consist of four Co-Ed teams of 10 players per team. Which means the League can have only 40 players max.
