BANGALOW JUNIOR RUGBY GOING FOR GROWTH IN 2010

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:14:18 +0000

After starting with a single under 12 team just three years ago, Bangalow Junior Rugby ran on five teams in 2009 and hopes to field seven teams for the 2010 season. The aim this year is for over 130 boys to wear the red, white and blue of Bangalow Rugby in every age group from under 8 to under 15.

The rapid growth of Bangalow junior rugby follows on the success of the senior team that has won the Village competition for the last five years in a row.

President of the Junior Club, Dave Phillips, said that the Club is attracting junior players from throughout the Byron Shire, including the villages in the hinterland.

“The scheduling of junior games on Friday evenings is a major attraction, allowing players and their parents to enjoy a game of Rugby and still have their weekends free for other activities. We’ve also been able to put on other popular family events like subsidised trips to watch the Wallabies play in Brisbane. We’ll be doing more of that kind of thing this season,” Mr Phillips said.

A key early event will be the inaugural Australian Rugby Union Bangalow FNC Primary Schools Rugby Gala Day to be held on Friday12 March. Primary schools from throughout the Far North Coast have been invited to participate.

Sign on days for players wishing to join Bangalow Junior Rugby will be the 20^th and 27^th of February from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at the Bangalow Bowling Club or on the adjacent field.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS GET INTO RUGBY UNION AT BANGALOW

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:13:00 +0000

The Australian Rugby Union has teamed up with the Bangalow Rugby Club to put on a gala day for the Wallabies of the future on the Far North Coast.

The inaugural ARU Bangalow FNC Primary Schools Rugby Gala Day will be held on Friday 12 March at the Bangalow Sports Fields.

The free event will cater for boys and girls in three age categories, Under 8s, Under 10s and Under 12s and will be played under the ARU rugby pathway guidelines. The Tournament is open to all North Coast Primary Schools, even those with little rugby experience. This will allow new schools to compete against and play alongside those with stronger rugby traditions in a fun, carnival atmosphere.

The event builds on the growing momentum for junior rugby around Bangalow that started with the creation of a single under 12 team just three years ago. Last year, Bangalow Junior Rugby ran on five teams and the Club hopes to field seven teams for the 2010 season in every age group from under 8 to under 15.

More information about the Primary Schools Rugby Gala Day will be available shortly from schools throughout the Byron Shire.

Sign on days for players wishing to join Bangalow Junior Rugby will be the 20^th and 27^th of February from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at the Bangalow Bowling Club or on the adjacent field.

Great Story of Junior Development

A Great Story of Junior Development at Bangalow

Bangalow plays Village Rugby in the Far North Coast and have been Premiers for the last 4 years. They began a Junior Club in 2007 and now have over 90 Junior players from U8s to U14s. With a long term goal of bringing the Club up to Premier Grade level, the Club is building its hopes on it’s vibrant Junior Program. From the words of their Juniors Coach Coordinator, Paul De Fina, “we are just a pub side, but take a lot of pride in what we do”.

They say playing in the top grade is a long term goal, but you get the feeling they might just make it (and have a lot of fun on the way). Well done Paul and the other Bangalow Club Members for a great story.

Scrum Machine Photo Competition

Here is a good idea from Grant O’Neill. A collection of classic scrum machine pictures and stories. A perfect coffee table book in the making. Send in images of scrum machines and lets make this idea perk.

Grant, Walker and Crommy are working on shoving this idea forward. Images in the works.
