Harrison Benn selected for 2011 U10 P22 Squad

Congratulations to the “H Bomb” Harrison Benn for gaining selection into the FNSW Illawarra P22 squad. This is a group of elite athletes who will be targeting to play in the 2022 World Cup! Each association has funding for the P22 program, with professional coaching provided free of charge. The players are (very unfortunately) ineligable to play for their clubs as they ae busy training and playing games against P22 squads from the other associations. It’s with a tinge of sadness, but a great deal of pride, that we wish Harry all the best, and look forward to catching up with him down at the ground watching his mates and big sister run around next year. Garry.

Competition Teams Presentation night, Friday 24th September

The Presentation night will be held Friday, 24th September in the Russell Vale Community Hall, starting at 7:30pm.

We’ll have a presentation of the awards for all teams and encourage everyone to stay after the presentation for a drink or two.

To keep the costs down we are asking people to bring their own drinks and nibbles . We have some soft drinks and stock from the Canteen that we will be handing out to the kids.

As a social night for the Club the Committee is OK with people bringing alcohol along but strongly urges people to be aware that the night is for the kids, and insist that the consumption of alcohol is moderated.

Could Team Managers please ring around and get an indication of how many people will be attending from your team so that we can set up the hall to accommodate everyone. Family and friends are most welcome.
