  • Sir Peter Leitch | Newsletter
    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • 12Th Australian Infantry Battalion
    LEST WE FORGET WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIALS 12TH AUSTRALIAN INFANTRY BATTALION There is no Memorial dedicated to Soldiers of the 12th Battalion other than the alphabetical list of names inscribed on the marble tablets located in the Undercroft of the WA State War Memorial in Kings Park, Perth. This document provides the Roll of Honour in chronological order and includes Soldiers enlisted from outside Western Australia whose names may not have been included on the State Memorial and whose names are shown in blue. About half the Soldiers of the Battalion were recruited from Tasmania and about a quarter each from South Australia and Western Australia. A number of Soldiers recruited in Queensland for the 26th Battalion were also transferred to the 12th Battalion during the course of the War. The initial Western Australian Contingent, G and H Companies, which had received their early training with the 11th Battalion at Blackboy Hill near Perth, joined the 12th Battalion at Mena Camp, near Cairo, Egypt, in mid-December 1914. The senior appointments in G Company were Company Commander Captain Joseph Peter Lalor (KIA: 25Apr15), Subalterns Lieutenant Joseph Lionel Booth (Wounds: 1May15) and Second Lieutenant John Ankers Evans (Wounded, Dis: 5May17), Colour Sergeant John Philpott Castle 791 (Dis: 28Jul15 (to a British Army Commission)) and Sergeants John Allen 770 (Wounded, Dis: 2Jun16), John Anthony Williams (KIA: 7Aug15), William Percy Nevett 851 (KIA: 2May15) and Alfred Edward Churchus 795 (Wounded, Dis: 16Feb16).

    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.

  • 1 the Newtown District Rugby League Football Club It's Sunday
    The Newtown District Rugby League Football Club It's Sunday September 30 - or, for the sports-mad, NRL grand final day - and I'm making my way to the Olympic Stadium in Homebush to cover my first ever decider for Rugby League Week magazine. It's a radiant Autumn day but a wintry chill lingers in the air, especially in the cavernous bowels of the 84,000-seat monolith. I reach my seat in time to see the conclusion of the curtain raiser - the NSW Cup grand final - where the Newtown Jets have beaten the Balmain Tigers. Daniel Mortimer hoists the reserve grade premiership trophy. 1 "It's great for this club.
