No. 2, 11 June 2020
Dear
Rugby is back! The move to level one couldn't have come at a better time as we have a Preseason Gala Day this Saturday; the clubrooms will open on Saturday night with no social distancing restrictions. We're now just over a week away from competition games being played on 20 June and while celebrations have been delayed, it is still our 50th Jubilee year and we want to make it a great one...
Our players and club members have been starved of rugby over the past three months, that all changes this Saturday. We've got five games of preseason rugby planned at Evans Bay and Kilbirnie Park starting with the Under 12s and concluding with the Premiers taking on Poneke. Another big highlight will be the Colts hosting St Patrick's College 1st XV at 1.30pm. Full details... >>>
Competition matches kick off for our Premiers, Premier Reserves and Premier Women on Saturday 20 June; other grades get underway on 27 June. The competition format will look different to previous years to accommodate a condensed season caused by lockdown... >>>
