Due to work on our fields not being done as scheduled by council,they are still very uneven and unsafe for competition. We have sourced a company to carry out this levelling work at our expense but they are unable to start until two weeks after Easter (very close to our new start date). This means we will not be able to hold a competition as hoped in season one this year........

Unfortunately all this rain came before the council was able to do any repairs to the fields. They now have to wait until the ground is dry enough to get tractors etc on without doing further damage (hopefully by the end of this week). Once they have been able to get repairs under way, we should be able to get a better idea on when we might be able to commence our season. More...

What a tremendous turn out for the 2013 Junior Development Day last Sunday! The biggest surprise was the number of girls moving into Touch with huge growth in the girls 10 and 12 years groups. Despite the very humid conditions, the morning was a great success with record numbers attending. Thank you to the parents/guardians who gave up their Sunday morning to bring the children along.

With the fields once again damaged by flood, repairs are still being carried out and we ask that NO TRAINING or other activities be conducted on ANY of the fields for the time being please. The bottom fields have only just dried out over the past week and need to be nurtured for a few months to allow the volume of games that the juniors comp brings. Thank you all for your understanding!
