Marist U11 Royal 26
(Bourgalt 2t, Spencer 1t, Housego 1t, Robertson 3c) defeated Royals 5.
CONGRATULATIONS BOYS UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS.
 
On a day better
suited to fish then rugby, the U11 Marist Royal team showed to all why they have
been undefeated all year. In a display of skill and commitment the boys ran out
convincing winners - 4 tries to 1. As all coaches say defence wins the big
games and this was no exception.
Royals started the
game full of confidence and on the back of a mountain of possession and field
position they pressured the Marist line for the first 5 minutes. During this
time the boys continually knocked over the Royals ball runners but finally their
pressure paid off and they scored an unconverted try. This was the last time
Royals got near our try line.
In a show of great
character the boys were not fazed by this start and they hit straight back.
After probing runs by forwards and backs, Seamus Smith spotted a weak Royals
blind side and with great hands the Marist team outflanked Royals and Will
crashed over in the corner for the equaliser. The ever impressive boot of Robbo
made it 7 - 5. In an almost identical performance several minutes later Will
crashed over for his second after quick hands in extremely wet conditions.
12 - 5 up at half
time Marist turned to run uphill. The coaches instructed the boys to keep low
and strong at the breakdown, to stand a little closer in attack and to keep up
the great team work and spirit. The coaches and supporters were not let down.
Two more tries were scored and we went terribly close on several more
occasions. If it would have been a dry pitch I believe a few more of our
adventurous plays would have resulted in tries. (They had in previous games and
it was only the conditions that made cut out passes, backline moves and cross
kicks a little difficult.)
The first try after
the break was scored after continual pressure of the Royals line. The ever
alert Seamus took a quick tap and found Tom Iles lurking in the centres. A
magnificent cut out pass found the hard and straight running Daine who went over
next to the uprights. Mr Reliable converted and the boys confidence was up.
The second try
allowed the spectators to see the wonderful footwork of Ruairi Housego for the
last time this season. After several raids by the Marist forwards the ball
found its way to Ruairi who danced his way through the Royals defence to score
under the posts. Robbo added the extras and Marist were 21 points in front and
had the game won.
All boys
contributed greatly today as they have for the entire season. Pearso, Jack and
Aiden out scrummed and out muscled their large opponents. I am sure the big
Royals front row were sick of you boys getting under them and driving them
backwards. Tom, Riley and Mark cleaned out with enthusiasm and all had telling
touches of the ball. The backrow of Connor, Josh and Xavier were magnificent.
They were everywhere in both attack (linking with the backs and great pick and
drives) and defence (I was happy that Royals kept running the blind from scrums
as they often ended back behind the advantage line). As predicted Royals relied
heavily on their big forwards to take it to us but time after time they were cut
down and driven backwards. In the end they were walking around the pitch.
The skills
displayed by the backs were first rate, especially when you take the conditions
into account. All 4 tries were scored by the backs. Seamus was superb and
really took control of the game. By being ever alert he created three of our
four tries with his vision and quick thinking. Cushy was solid and reliable -
have you dropped the ball at all this year? Rauri and Robbo were a handful and
both made telling runs and with Robbo kicking 3 from 4 nearly every try is a 7
pointer. Ben and Tyler made the most of limited opportunities and their chase
enthusiasm kept Royals under constant pressure. Daine ran straight and hard - I
am glad that he is on our side and Will at the back had an excellent Captains
game, scoring two tries and covering up Royals kicking game.
You are a champion
team that relies on all players to perform and week after week you have done
this. You have been a pleasure to be involved with and you all should be proud
of what you have achieved this year. You have scored 507 points and only had 12
scored against you. We all look forward to watching you improve over the coming
years.
Well done -
UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS.

Smithy

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - 16 SEPTEMBER - COLLEGE PAVILION
If you have anything that you want to hear, talk about, or just
plain get off your chest , we would love to see you at the AGM.
...............but more importantly ............. clubs like ours can't run on
thin air!. We depend on many things, such as getting a good number of registered
players every year, getting fantastic sponsors, such as we now have, getting
lots of helpers for our teams and on game day, but most importantly, having a
strong and viable committee.
Every year, we lose one or two people, because their boys have
passed out of the school, and each year we need to replenish our pool of
dedicated people who can serve our club and our committee.
There is no such thing as a right to be in any position and we
need people to step up and fill positions on the committee, each and every year,
otherwise we don't remain strong, even if they have no prior experience of
Marist Rugby.
It doesn't matter if you are a brand new parent who doesn't know
anyone in the club, or if you don't think you can contribute anything - you can!
If you just want to help, but don't know how, jump onto the
committee as a general member and we will ease you in, comfortably.
You only need to be able to give us an hour or two per week and
you qualify. We meet once per month, and we often have a convivial glass of wine
together.
If you have a skill, we will use it.
So, we encourage you to come along to the AGM.
You don't have to volunteer, just listen in, and if you like what
you hear, get on board!! You will be made to feel very welcome, and our boys
will be the winners!

Phoenix Battye in action for the Australian U20's
The Emirates
Western Force has bolstered their squad with ................... and Australian
U20’s representatives ................ Phoenix Battye all joining the club for
the 2011 season.
Battye (was a) key
member of Australia’s U20’s team that reached the final of the IRB Junior World
Championships in Argentina………………….
…………..“We’re very
happy to welcome these three quality young men to our programme,” said RugbyWA
CEO Vern Reid.
“Both Paul and
Phoenix are exciting development propositions who have already shown enormous
potential through their performances in schoolboys and the Australian U20’s.
“They’re eager to
learn and work alongside the high calibre of experienced players we have at the
Force and also understand that we’re a club not afraid to give youngsters their
opportunity to shine.
…………….At just 19
years of age Battye is an impressive 204cm and 115kg second row specimen who has
modeled his rugby on Emirates Western Force skipper Nathan Sharpe and can’t wait
to learn from the star lock.
“Sharpie has been
a huge influence for me growing up and the way I’ve played my rugby. Knowing he
was at the club was a major factor in deciding to join the Force,” Battye said.
“He is a great
inspiration and leader across the field and also obviously in the specific
position I play. I know I can learn a lot from him and I think that will be a
huge benefit in the quality and speed of my development.
“Stepping forward
into Super rugby with the Force is a tremendous opportunity to take my football
to the next level. It’s a club that has a great track record of helping young
players achieve their potential.”
Alo-Emile and
Battye have signed rookie deals while Dellit is on a standard player contract.
