Presentations and AGM: 21st September
Despite the weather the University Juniors' Presentation Day went off without a hitch. A good turnout witnessed the presentation of trophies and photos, and announcements of the Juniors' Centurions. An interesting innovation was the Three Year Certificates.
See also news of summer touch rugby matches on the Juniors page.
These matches are open to everyone - players, parents, siblings, and any other supporters. It's a great way to keep in touch in the off-season, and, keep up the skills.
We are looking for new members and players for 2009 ages 6 to 15 years old.
If you have any friends or relatives or know any kids who would be interested in joining us please pass on the message to join UWA Rugby. Training during the rugby season is on Thursdays at UWA Sports Park McGiilivray Oval Mt Claremont, between 5-6pm.
