Forbes Rugby Union Club has become a breeding ground for talented up and coming junior rugby players.
They've just won the central west premierships in both under 14s and under 16s and this is a 3rd year in a row the club has claimed the 14s title.
Some reigning under 16s players now holding six consecutive premierships and quite a few 5, from their under 12s through under 14s - an unbelievable result considering the cities that play in this competition.
Now individual juniors have been selected for representative honours.
Two under 14s, Thomas Vonthien and Thomas Johnson, have done the club proud in their City v Country fixtures.
