The game as predicted ended in a 17 all draw with both sides playing running rugby. In a controversial move the referee send John Hibbert off twice in same game for throwing the ball at him and trying too hard.

What a great effort................................
Evan Vigers has been playing great rugby in his first and today has been selected in 2nd grade ñwell done.
For his attitude on and off the field Dan Moore follows the club motto Facta non Verba - deeds not words.
Chris Atkins for being selected as Captain of the Sub District Rep Team. A great honour - Chris is deserving of the position as he adopts a professional approach to his game and training.
Dave Peacock has been a loyal club member for years, he plays where selected, doesnt complain, supports the coaches and provided feedback to assist with club moral.
Rugby Question Answers:
Question 1 =The ball is out by the team kicking the ball, therefore the lineout is back where the ball was kicked with the throw by the other team.
Question 2 =Where the mark was taken. The opposing team must stand at least 5 meters out from the try line.
Question 3 =Yes ñeven though he is in touch a try is scored.

Revue Revue Revue Revue Revue Revue
The Revues run by club stalwart John Hibbert were a great success with over 500 people attending over the two nights ñas the saying goes 'age shall not weary them nor the years condemn'. Although they have doing the revues for over 15 years the acting ability continues to remain the same?
It was good to see Russell Kershler have the opportunity to once again have the opportunity to dress up as a girl. Like most props Russell needs this release to keep out of Jail.
