June 23rd is a bye weekend for Subbies Rugby. It’s also the day that TEST MATCH rugby makes a rare appearance at the SFS. AUSTRALIA take on 6 Nations champions WALES with the curtain raiser -  Subbies NSW Rep team vs Queensland Rep.

The seats will be in designated “Subbies Only” bays. There are around 2000 Subbies seats available and if we buy all of them, the ARU will set up an exclusive “Subbies Bar” adjacent to your seats, with a full view of the ground (so no missing any rugby while getting a drink!)

So get your order in by NEXT WEEK to secure your club’s seats in the Subbies section. It could not be easier – simply email Club Treasurer Andrew Johnston – [email protected] to confirm your ticket, then transfer $49 per ticket into the club bank account making sure you include your surname inthe transaction description.

After months of pre-season training in various locations it’s now business time!

Congratulations to all those who have been working hard at training over the past weeks and have secured a starting position in one of the 4 mens grades. For those backing up, please be patient you will get an opportunity to show us all what you’re made of – when you get the chance make sure you grab it with both hands.

From early indications the range of ability between the grades seems smaller this year with strong players featuring throughout the teams which bodes well for the coming year. We just need to make sure that we’re all available for the AWAY games too!

The committee and coaches have put in an enormous amount of time and effort into getting us on the field this year with sponsors, physios, the new pavilion all providing their own challenges. We want to support and grow the club as much as possible but to do that we also need your support too.There are a number of things you can do to help out which require little effort:

• Attend the Post Match Speeches at Waverley Bowling Club
• Injured or have a niggle? Go see the club Physio – Advanz Therapies
• Pay your subs in full as early as possible
• Support and use as many of the club sponsors as possible
• Make Yourself available for as many games as possible

Here’s to a successful 2012 Season – Good Luck to Everyone tomorrow! See you there!

Rob Willoughby

Club President
