🎥 GYS Testimony Series – Part 1: Captain | Jensen Gowdy
We begin our 4-part Global Youth Sevens testimony series with our captain, Jensen Gowdy.
Jensen’s journey to the Global Youth Sevens has been built on leadership, discipline, and leading from the front. From his rugby experience in Ireland to now leading our FRESH squad onto the international stage, Jensen represents what our new campaign is all about — PURPOSE. Playing for something bigger than yourself, standing for your brothers, your family, and your community.
Leadership is not always about being the loudest voice, but about setting the standard, earning respect through actions, and uniting people under a shared purpose. Jensen has embodied this throughout our campaign, and we are proud to have him lead the way.
As we launch into our GYS 2026 “PURPOSE” Campaign, this is more than just rugby — it’s about growth, opportunity, and representing something that lasts beyond the game.
💭 If you're a young athlete looking to challenge yourself, grow, and be part of something meaningful — this is your opportunity.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of our GYS Testimony Series.

Community Outreach in South Auckland
FRESH was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community in South Auckland through Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae and their impactful Kai Ika program.
As part of our 2026 “Purpose” campaign, this experience was a powerful reminder that our journey is about more than just rugby. It’s about understanding our “why” — serving others, connecting with community, and using our platform to make a positive impact.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing hosts, Matua (respected elder) Carlos and Whaea (respected female elder) Valerie, whose manaakitanga (hospitality, care, and generosity) and leadership brought this kaupapa (purpose/initiative) to life. Your guidance gave our players a deeper appreciation of what it truly means to give back.
The Kai Ika program plays a vital role in supporting whānau (family/community) by providing fresh food and helping feed the community. To contribute, even in a small way, reinforced the values that sit at the core of who we are as a club.
This is what Purpose looks like for FRESH.
Not just competing on the world stage, but showing up for community, culture, and something bigger than ourselves.
We went there with open hearts, and we left with full hearts.
We were blessed to be a blessing.
Ngā mihi nui (big thanks) to everyone involved for allowing us to share in something so special. ❤️

Returning FRESH faces 💚
It’s been almost a decade since FRESH stalwarts Sharnah Komene (FRESH Women’s #12) and Jaylen Tuapola (FRESH Men’s #51) last pulled on the FRESH colours at the 2016 Busselton 7’s.
Fast forward 10 years and both are back where they belong — bringing a wealth of experience, leadership, and serious 7’s IQ to our Women’s and Men’s squads as we gear up for the WA 7’s this weekend.
Their return adds another layer of firepower and calm under pressure as preparations hit the final stretch.
🔒 Final squads drop Friday — stay tuned to see who’s going into battle.

Established in 2012 with a desire and passion to confront key Mental Health issues through the vessel of sport. FRESH discovered a limited and exhausted supply of resources in the Mental Health sector for Indigenous, Maori & Pacific Island communities which sparked a need for an intervention.
With this in mind, FRESH established itself as a Sports Club and focused to commit an outreach for these communities, through our Sporting programs and teams. Since 2012 this service has presented opportunities to access and impact communities within the Maori & Pacific Island groups through our Rugby based teams. We have managed to establish a firm foundation for interaction and provide valuable support networks across ages 8 to 18 years and with a healthy number of Men & Women also involved.
FRESH focuses on key areas but not limited to extents such as:
Fellowship: We encourage interaction amongst all our members, to develop a network of support system. Stats show that 3 million Australians are living with depression or anxiety or on average of 1 in 6 Women and 1 in 8 Men experience some level of depression. So we feel with regular interaction through trainings, fundraising activities and events creates a special bond and relationships are sure to have formed, providing a support network for all.
Counselling: Experienced coaches and mentors are beneficial in this area of focus for FRESH as we really aim to target awareness for Teenage Su***de prevention. This rate is of major concern as stats from 2015 indicate its highest rate in the last 10 years with 12-17 year olds. So we feel often kids are carrying burdens placed on them from peers or society and the modern day pressures of social media that portrays unrealistic lifestyles by comparing latest fads, giving a false sense of recognition. So we discovered the use of sports as an outlet to vent their frustrations. With our counselling program in place through our management staff, we can hopefully identify and provide a safe network through regular interaction with all our members.
Guidance: Uncertainty amongst teens around the ages of 17-19 is often due to them concluding their schooling years. With personnel surrounding them with life experience gained through their own personal situations, having opinions at times can comfort those in doubt. Key personnel within our management are also equipped with great resources and a strong network of expertise to assist when required.
Physical development: With highly experienced and qualified coaches and trainers, our program promises to challenge each of our members to achieve personal physical goals. The physical demands of our training sessions are uniquely designed and individually established to offer a balance to counteract a high degree of stress.
Spiritual: An area that is highly scrutinised through society, FRESH offers a place of acceptance as many members feel victimised through their religious beliefs. Although FRESH based and founded on its Christian principals, we are enthusiastic to show compassion and support to all our members.
FRESH’s goal is to reach all local Schools within the Perth Metropolitan area with a program on how to utilise Sports as a tool to encourage kids to speak up on Mental Health issues while also raising awareness. Designing and running programs/ events throughout the entire State of WA and in particular major Mining towns to showcase the impact Sports can have on improving and raising Mental Health understandings.
