Victoria Community Rugby Grand Final 2014
VICTORIA COMMUNITY RUGBY GRAND FINAL 2014 Saturday 16th August Box Hill R.H.L. Sparks Reserve 1 PRESIDENT’S WELCOME It is with great pleasure that I welcome all members of the Victorian Rugby Community to the 2014 Grand Final Day at Box Hill. On behalf of the Board of the Victorian Rugby Union, I like to congratulate the Victorian Rugby Community, in all its divisions, for the standard of competition across all grades during the Competition this year. Again we see a good spread of clubs represented by teams participating in the final series. Some clubs have participated with great distinction in getting numerous teams through to finals and into grand finals. Congratulations to Harlequin Rugby Club winning four Minor Premierships in senior Rugby in 2014 All clubs obviously did their utmost to comply with the competition rules this season and to promote this sport amongst their playing members. It remains important that, the administration of clubs ensure that the game is played in the correct spirit and in compliance with the Laws of the Game. The Board also wishes to congratulate all those referees who have been awarded the right to referee the Finals and to thank all referees for their efforts during the year. In addition the Board expresses its appreciation to the Box Hill Rugby Union Football Club for its ongoing support and for hosting the whole Union at this Grand Final day. We should recognize the fact that this Club has assisted the Union in tendering for and hosting the Grand final day for well over a decade. -

Rugby was named after the Rugby School in England where, according to the famous plaque, "William Webb Ellis with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game AD 1823". -

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.
