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.
