Keni Nasoqeqe

At 6 tries scored, Keni Nasoqeqe has the second most tries in the PRP this season. Of Nasoqeqe FloRugby said, “The Belmont Shore No. 8 has been explosive every single week. He doesn't take a game off, and he can score, or break you, from anywhere.”

Sean Gorman

Newly minted team captain Sean Gorman has been the definition of consistency for Belmont Shore. He is currently one of the team’s leading tacklers and poachers. Of Gorman FloRugby said, “Gorman just gets the work done. He concentrates on defense and winning the ball and lets others score the tries. He's called an unsung hero, but we're singing about him now.”

With Belmont Shore sitting in 2nd place in the PRP with 4 games left to play, both Nasoqeqe and Gorman will have to continue leading the way for a chance at a finals appearance.
