1st XV def Vikings 27-17. Thanks Sarah Mead and Jacinta Kearns for the correct score. An awesome win to finish the home and away games and lead into finals.

And Happy Birthday Marshy. Beating Vikings - great present from your team.

Thanks from the Club President
A huge thank you from the Marist Rugby Club Committee for generosity and attendance of so many Marist Rugby families and supporters. The Dinner was a HUGE SUCCESS with over 150 people enjoying a great meal at the Hellenic Club and a very successful auction event with fantastic profit of approximately $11,000!
This is a fantastic outcome for our boys and the profits will go towards purchasing rugby equipment we wouldn't otherwise have been able to buy. Your thoughts and suggestions on this are very welcome. :)
Thanks to all those involved in making Marist Rugby Club a strong community and enjoyable rugby experience for our boys. The profits from the evening will make a huge difference to our boys and we are thrilled that the Marist Rugby community came together in such a generous and supportive way for our teams.
Good luck to all the boys, coaches and managers as we head into Finals.

Club President Update - 21 Apr 16
Referee Courses for the boys
Brumbies is looking to get more Rugby referees, and they offer free courses (or paid for by our Club). The levels are:
1. Refereeing Kids Rugby U8s to U12s: To referee this rugby all you need to do is maximum 3hr course followed by a quick online law exam and you are set to go. This course incorporates Smart Rugby and the minimum age to do this is 13 years of age. These courses can be run at your local rugby club or school.
2. Foundation Course: To referee U13s through to U18s you need to complete the Foundation Course. In this course you are joined by people wanting to be a coach, and break off into separate groups at different points during the course. This course takes eight hours and will be run at Brumbies HQ on the 8th May from 9am till 5pm. The minimum age to attend this course is 15 years of age.
3. Touch Judge/Assistant Referee: To either one of these (they’re the same thing essentially) you need to complete a course called the Level 1 Assistant Referee. It takes three hours and the minimum age to complete this course is 13 years of age.
If you are interested please let me know your son’s name, best email address and preferred course. Thanks
Club Volunteers
Thank you for the many offers of volunteers we have received. We have collated the lists and the various Committee members will be in touch with you (ie the Canteen Manager will contact you if you volunteered for canteen duty, First Aid Coordinator will be in touch if you volunteered for First Aid etc). If you volunteered and don’t hear from anyone in the coming weeks, please let us know. Also if you would like to volunteer but not sure how- please contact me. Our Club runs on the efforts of volunteers – so every offer is appreciated.
Coaches and Managers Night – 2 May
We have changed the night for our Coaches and Managers Information Night to 2 May 2016. More information will be provided next week.

The information night will provide parents with necessary information for the season. The Club doesn't operate without volunteers and as always, many hands make light work. We need marshalls, canteen and BBQ staff, first aiders, photographers, match report writers and of course, coaches!! Any assistance you can provide (from one hour on a BBQ to assisting with First Aid or Coaching) is GREATLY appreciated, otherwise many of these requirements are met by creating rosters. Please also remember the Club funds your First Aid or Coaching training.
If you have not yet registered your son, read the instructions at the Registration tab. Registration closes 15 Mar 16.

A great evening at the Hellenic Club last night, good food and company, and an opportunity for all involved to express appreciation for everyone's contribution that makes Rugby the great game that it is.

Congratulations to the U15 Royal Team!!

Marist Rugby 2015
Junior and Senior Presentation
Dear Parents and players,
On behalf of the College and the Marist Rugby Club we would like to again thank you for your time, your effort and your generosity. It is only your support that makes it possible for us to continue to offer the rugby experience to the boys.
The Club is hosting a Junior Presentation Afternoon for the Under 10, 11 and 12 teams. This will be in the Senior School Gymnasium on Wednesday 9th September, commencing at 4.00pm. All boys are able to stay after school and the Rugby club will provide a packet of chips and a juice as afternoon tea. Year 5 boys will be returning from camp around 2.30pm and will attend the presentation in their casual clothes.
We are hoping that this helps alleviate the long evening and still provides the opportunity to recognise the junior players for all their efforts during the season. To make this a special occasion for the juniors the College 1st XV will be the event managers for the afternoon. The captain will M.C the Presentation.
The Under 13, 14, 15, 16 and Senior teams will enjoy a more condensed program at their traditional Presentation Evening on Wednesday 9th September, in the Senior School Gymnasium starting at 7.00pm.
We encourage all players to support the presentation and to come along with their parents. Boys are required to be in their Full College Uniform.
Once again, many thanks for your generous help and support of Marist Rugby. We trust that you have enjoyed the experience and we look forward to your continued involvement.
Sincerely
Paul Mead Scott Molloy Michael Lloyd

The Under 13, 14, 15, 16 and Senior teams will enjoy a more condensed program at their traditional Presentation Evening on Wednesday 9th September, in the Senior School Gymnasium starting at 7.00pm.
We encourage all players to support the presentation and to come along with their parents. Boys are required to be in their Full College Uniform.
Once again, many thanks for your generous help and support of Marist Rugby. We trust that you have enjoyed the experience and we look forward to your continued involvement.
Sincerely

It's been a looong summer (not that we'd complain about winning the Cricket World Cup) but finally it's time for some Rugby ...
Don't forget to volunteer this season; at least don't shirk the canteen roster - yes, there's a roster. So, help in the Canteen or become an Iron Chef!!

2014 Annual General Meeting
Marist School Pavillion - Thursday, 23 October 2014 at 7pm.
We would love to see as many of you as possible come along to our AGM and get involved in our committee for next season. It is a massive undertaking to get over 400 boys on the field each week and we encourage everyone to continue supporting Marist Rugby.
In addition to the dedicated support of many of the teachers, there are many dozens of parents that fill the roles of coaches, managers, ground marshalls, canteen staff, match report writers, photographers and so on.
They all need to be supported by a committee able to assist the school in ensuring the boys have the equipment and training they need to be successful.
So come to the AGM, Get a better understanding of what goes on to get your boy on the field each week and seek to find a way you can help. Even if you don't know much about Rugby, there are many roles both on and off the committee that will enhance your boy's playing experience.
And if you need some convincing that your efforts will help ensure the boys success in their rugby endeavours, read about this year's finals.

2014 Grand Finals Results
Well, it's been quite a season, 22 of 23 teams made semi-finals, unmatched across the ACTJRU, Eleven of these teams made grand-finals and five won.
While the senior teams struggled, look at the results for the junior teams!!
U10, U11, U12 and U14 Royal teams all won, with U13 Royal not missing out by much. Some might say the U15s were hard done by in their semi (straining to remain polite and respectful here) and the U16 Royal and all the senior teams have struggled with player losses to other opportunities early on and later, to an unprecedented number of injuries.
Notwithstanding those player losses, in a thrilling game with the lead changing several times, the Marist 3rd XV defeated St Edmunds 14 to 12. One of the English boys on exchange from Kelly College, Tavistock, Taylor Ryan, came onto the field at about the 20 minute mark, with Marist down 3 to 5. A few minutes later, close to the Eddies line, he peeled off the left side of the scrum with the ball and in great English rugby style, drove under the defence and just managed to jam it over the line, making the score 8 to 5 in Marist favour. A few minutes later, Taylor Ryan was injured, half time called and the game delayed awaiting an ambulance. As the second half wound down, Marist kicked a penalty and Eddies scored a converted try, putting the latter one point in front, 12 to 11. Tensions were high - given the interruption due injury - it seemed only the referee had any idea how much time remained. Marist were awarded a penalty at about Eddies 22 and set up for a kick. One of the Eddies boys momentarily forgot the rules, charged down the kicker, kicked the ball away himself and scored a yellow card for his trouble. Marist converted, went two points in front and two minutes later it was all over. Marist won 14 to 12 and prevented an otherwise Eddies clean sweep of the senior divisions.
Anyway, on the basis of the junior results in particular, the future of Marist Rugby looks really, really good!
With more great coaching and positive behaviours to encourage the boys to commence or continue with their rugby, certain other teams in certain other schools have valid reason to be concerned. ;-)
Congratulations to all our boys and young men for their dedication throughout the year, regardless of the result. And thanks to the volunteers - coachers, managers, marshalls, canteen staff, linespersons (how PC), photographers, match report writers (need more of them next year) and of course to the referees (yes, the senior refs are unpaid - they do it for the love of the game).
And thanks to everyone who came to the dinner - it really was great night out!!

Semi-Finals Results
It’s great to see 11 of 22 semi-finalist teams win on the weekend. Congratulations to all our boys and young men who have made it to a final!
There's some great stories emerging from the semi-finals (sorry, I know more about the U16 - e-mail your story in a paragraph and I'll add it here):
Congratulations to all the boys whose teams unfortunately didn't win, including our 1st XV, for showing the determination and teamwork to get to the semis and for reflecting the positive personal qualities and spirit that make rugby great.
So, get to the finals and support the boys. The draw for all finals is below.
Good luck and GO MARIST!
Finally, for next season - the UC Brumbies emerging talent camps here
There's some great stories emerging from the semi-finals (sorry, I know more about the U16 - e-mail your story in a paragraph and I'll add it here):
- The dogged determination and fearlessness of the U16 Royal boys, riddled with losses of players throughout the season, to stand against the bigger, stronger Vikings, with less than a full team, losing even more players to injury until the referee called it off at half-time after Marist was down to 10 players (also impressed with Vikings sense of fair play, reducing their number of players on the field);
- The U16 Sky, relentlessly attacking the Eddies defence, then at full time Eddies incurring penalty after penalty, until the referee awarded a penalty try, with Marist converting to win [in the other semi-final 1st placed Uni North beaten by 4th placed Radford]. It means a 3rd vs 4th final-awesome!!

Semi Finals this Saturday
It’s fantastic to see 22 of our 23 teams are involved in the finals this weekend. Congratulations to everyone who made the finals!
Congratulations also to the Under 10 Blues team. Boys, although you didn’t make the finals this year, we have been told that you have all played with great enthusiasm, passion and spirit and have represented our club magnificently. I know for many of you this season has been your first, and after the way you finished your last game of the season on our No. 1 oval, we are sure you will be in for a big season next year.
Below are the times and locations of all the Marist games, so we encourage everyone to get to the games and support the boys.
