Roseville Junior Rugby Club

News!

2010 Season

The new season is approaching but unlike previous seasons scheduled fixtures will not commence until after Easter this year. Accordingly we have delayed our registration process a little which allows more time for you to register with the club.

Whilst our official Registration days at the Roseville Chase Oval have passed we still have a few places available in U14 (who go on tour this year), U12, U10, U9 and U8. Please contact any of the committee or managers if you are interested in the club.

Last season was one of our most successful seasons ever (see below). Our philosophy of playing for the enjoyment of the game and our emphasis on the team rather than the individual was a major contributor to our success and something we intend to build on in the future. As a part of that philosophy the club has adopted an approach that as far as possible we will try to organise teams so that boys can play with their mates (within SJRU/MNZ guidelines for age etc). This sets us apart from other clubs where there can be an emphasis on grading individual players such that friends with differing abilities are split into different teams.

We are a small and very friendly club with a village atmosphere that keeps players and parents coming back so come along and see what makes us different.

3 out of 5 teams win Grand Finals !

Roseville Junior Rugby yesterday topped off a hugely successful season for the club by wining 3 out of the 5 Grand Finals in which our teams played. Our plan is to celebrate this record breaking season for the club at the Big Screen Night following the club presentations on 19th September. Click here for details of the menu, prizes and auction items for the day.

The detailed results were as follows:

Under 10E Hurricanes Won vs Drummoyne 17 to 15
Under 10C Cyclones Won vs Hunters Hill 24 to 21
Under 12C Cyclones Won vs Dee Why 17 to 10
Under 13C Cyclones Runners up to Hunters Hill 34 to 5
Under 14C Cyclones Runners up to Norths 22 to 19.

All the Roseville players played games worthy of the Grand Final against tough opposition. The U14 match was particularly nail biting with the lead changing between the two sides frequently and the small winning margin reflects how close and exciting the game was.

5 out of 6 teams in Grand Finals !

it is with some considerable pride that I can report that all bar one of our teams have made it into the Grand Finals. This is I believe unprecedented in our club's history (unless someone can tell me different !). The results are as follows:

Under 10E Hurricanes minor premiers and won the major semi final to go straight to the Grand Final
Under 10C Cyclones minor premiers and won the major semi final to go straight to the Grand Final
Under 12C Cyclones minor premiers and won the major semi final to go straight to the Grand Final
Under 13C Cyclones lost the major semi but won the preliminary final to get to the Grand Final
Under 14C Cyclones lost the major semi but won the preliminary final to get to the Grand Final
Opens unfortunately lost out today but did us proud anyway.

Whilst we are a small club I believe that our philosophy of playing for the enjoyment of the game and our emphasis on the team rather than the individual is a major contributor to our success. Our thanks go to the managers, coaches and parents who not only give up their valuable time but also encourage the boys to play the game in the spirit of fairness that the club values so highly.

I encourage all members of the club to attend as much of the Grand Final Day as you can and support as many of our teams as possible on the day. Win or lose on the day the boys should all be congratulated for a great achievement.
