Southbridge Rugby Club Canterbury Central News  Article March 09

 

Since 1876, the Southbridge Rugby Football Club aim is to foster the game of rugby in our community. To give people an opportunity to play a sport in a game that New Zealanders feel very passionate about. One hundred and thirty three years later our club continues to foster this aspiration.

 

In 2009, we have teams in all JAB grades, a Div 1 and Div 3 team.

 

We are proud to have a committed group of people in our club, for example our players, coaches, managers, supporters, executive and JAB committee. All volunteer to support our club and national sport.

 

This year the Southbridge Rugby Football Club has upgraded the clubrooms, with painting, new carpet and vinyl. A successful working bee saw over 30, people turn up one Sunday morning, to paint the exterior of the clubrooms. Thank you to all.

 

On Sunday, 29^th March we plan to host a Mega fun day. Our JAB teams from U7- U14 will be hosting the Marist Albion Club. The Mega fun day is great way to kick off the season for our younger players. Kick off at 10am, see you there.

 

The club now hosts a website at www.southbridgerugby.com, information such as events, club history, honours board, draws etc can be found on our site. There is a registration area and our newsletters will be posted on this website. We plan on profiling some of our players, so check the site out regularly. The website is an excellent way for the club to communicate to members and community.

 

Finally we would like to conclude with congratulating long serving supporter, coach, member Neville Carter for his contribution to the club and community and his prestigious award to local club rugby the Ellesmere Rugby Services Award. This month, Neville and Bev travel to France to meet up with Daniel. Have a safe and enjoyable journey.
