2023 EAST COAST BAY TOURNAMENT will take place at East Coast Bays.
EAST COAST BAYS TOURNAMENT – 12/13th August 2023
Venue: East Coast Bays Rugby Club
The annual East Coast Bays (ECB) Exchange is a tradition that's been running since Tauranga Sports Club was initiated some 30 years ago, and is now well into its second generation of players!! This long-established battle to hold the winners’ overall trophy is a tournament where the U10, U11, U12 and U13 teams play against each other in an all-out crusade of 15-aside full field rugby. We alternate venues, with the hosting teams billeting players from the visiting team. Currently, we hold the trophy and to lift it again in 2023 we will need to win 2 out of the 4 games!
This year Tauranga Sports are being hosted for our annual Tauranga Sports Junior Club v East Coast Bays rugby challenge on Sunday 13th August 2023 at East Coast Bays Rugby Club.
The busses will leave Otumoetai College on Saturday afternoon at 4.30 pm on 12th August for host families to collect their billets. The rugby games are on Sunday 13th August and parents and supporters are encouraged and welcome to come along!
