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.

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.

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".

  • Trailing Clouds of Glory Did They Come
    TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... Bert Penwill, Griff Hunt and Rugby in Victoria Ron Grainger 2015 TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... 'There is a history in all men's lives' William Shakespeare Although a generation apart, two men who were to make a major contribution to Victorian Rugby shared much in common, not least that both came anointed with the mystical oil of Welsh Rugby, specifically of the Newport variety, though not of a 1st XV vintage. Nevertheless, both made their mark early in the city of that name, not only in rugby but in other sports, notably aquatic. Both were born in England, but were living in Newport by the age of ten, both commenced employment before joining the Territorials and then seeing active service in the British Army before coming to Australia where they later became deeply involved in the organisation and management of Rugby Union in Victoria. The big difference between them lay in their ages, Griffyth George (Griff) Hunt being born in 1911, the same year in which Herbert Garfield (Bert) Penwill, then aged thirty-one, left England for Australia. But as a closer look soon reveals, there were other differences, not least those associated with the social, economic and technological developments of the times. Their service to the State Union covered the beginning and end of its first fifty years and the following accounts inevitably include comment on those times and on the development of the Victorian Rugby Union (VRU) over that period. Before then, successive Unions in the Colony of Victoria had arranged rugby matches against British, New Zealand and New South Wales teams, but organised club competition had been spasmodic.
