The 2024 season was a successful one for Rushworth who after not fielding a senior side in 2023 managed to tally five wins and finish 10th on the KDL ladder last year.
Now, with a more consistent structure, some new players and accountability, the Tigers are eyeing finals or thereabouts in 2025.
“When I took over heading into 2024, we hadn’t fielded a side the year before, so we ended up winning a handful of games, which was a really positive,” coach Mark Wheatley said.
“We were able to give the people of the town and community a bit of hope through the season last year.
“Now we are identifying areas of improvement so we can build on what we learnt in 2024, we’ve recruited guys from all over to bring a bit of experience and new energy to the side.
“It's really exciting to get back into it and continue to build on the platform we set last year to go further this season.”
