Also a big thanks to our referees Steve Taylor, Tom Taylor, Richard Tulloch and Keegan Hunter who did a great job. Also thanks to Andrew Birch, Dave Rogers and Tom Gilbert who helped with refereeing at different stages.
 
To the super 14 tipsters thanks again for your kind donation without which we wouldn’t have junior rugby in Port at such an affordable level.
 
Finally, thanks to our sponsors including our friendly coffee vendors Kiwi and Cheryl for your kind donation.
 
Our under 14’s and 16’s have 2 weeks remaining of the Super 8’s at Crescent Head.
 
Until next season.
 
Brett Gilbert

Friday Night Junior Rugby 2008

The Port Macquarie Junior Rugby Club will again be conducting its successful Friday night Rugby competition at Stuart Park in 2008. The competition has been running for over 10 years and is now one of the most successful of its kind in Australia, with over 350 players competing in 2007.

Teams are school based but players are required to register individually with the Port Junior Rugby Club and the Australian Rugby Union. Although every school in Port Macquaire participated in 2007, If a school for some reason doesn't have enough players for a team, players can still register and they will be allocated to another team. Some schools had 2 teams in each age group in 2007 and there were combined teams with players from Kempsey, Wauchope and Laurieton also competing.

The competition caters for players from years 3 & 4 (under 10's), years 5 & 6 (Open Primary) as well as under 14 and 16 competitions for Secondary students.

For the convenience of players and parents all matches are held at the same time and venue under lights at Stuart Park with the under 10's kicking off at 5.30 pm, the Open Primary at 6.15 pm and the under 14's and 16's at 7.00pm. Canteen facilities and Ports no. 1 mobile coffee machines are on hand for the convenience of parents and spectators.

All matches are played under modified rules to ensure maximium enjoyment, participation and safety and a strict code of conduct is enforced for players, coaches and spectators to make sure games are played in the true spirit of rugby.

This years season will commence with trial matches in term 1 on Friday the 29th of March and 4th of April and the competition will commence after the school holidays on Friday the 2nd of May. Matches will be played each Friday night in term 2 (except for the long weekend) and the final rounds and finals will be played early in term 3. A full draw will be published after registrations and the draw is flexible to cater for school camps and other activities they may clash with the rugby.

Registration will be held at Stuart Park from 4pm to 5.30 pm on the following dates:

Thursday 21st February
Thursday 28th February
Thursday 6th March

Individual registration for 2008 will be $10 to cover the increasing costs of ARU registration and insurance, lights, referees, equipment and trophies. At $10 per player this still makes rugby the most affordable sport in Australia.
