Junior Jacks Finish Undefeated Season | New England Free Jacks Academy Youth Rugby


The future of New England rugby was on full display as the **New England Free Jacks Academy Junior Jacks** capped off an undefeated season with a hard-fought 21-14 victory over the Irish Wolfhounds Youth Squad**.


As the New England Free Jacks team chiropractor and staff photographer**, I had the opportunity to capture another memorable day of **youth rugby**. While professional matches are exciting, there's something special about documenting the next generation of players as they develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game.


The Junior Jacks played with outstanding teamwork, physicality, and resilience—qualities that have defined their season. Their undefeated record is a testament to the dedication of the athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families who continue to grow the game throughout New England.


Congratulations to the Junior Jacks on an incredible season. If this match was any indication, the future of **New England Free Jacks Academy rugby** and **youth rugby in New England** is brighter than ever.
