The award reflected that Adrian has gone to exceptional lengths to keep our Under 18 Team on the paddock following the sudden departure of the team’s coach and his son. Poor player numbers encouraged Adrian and Bully to persuade Community Rugby to organise a short-sided Under 18 competition to keep these young men and those from other clubs playing rugby. This is probably a first for Victorian Club Rugby . Adrian’s new coaching commitment was extended by helping two players with transport to and from Coolaroo all season.

This round three due to a serious knee injury we were able to break lasted about 2 minutes and he was busting to get back have a reserve and we were also starting to see what our into the game. best team may look like, something that we have not be able to field all year. Although we still had a few players away due Several time in the half Quins had a 3 on 1 or 3 on 2 overlap to injuries and other commitments. down the sideline but with some good defence from Jacob, Cooper and Flynn and some brilliant cover defence from the loose forwards managed to shut down the overlap. Quins managed two late tries to go into half time 17-0 up. The score could have been more except for what could only be described as a beginner’s error. From the last play of the first half Quins broke the line and actually crossed the try line as our defence had chased the guy all the way to the end he tried to place the ball with one hand and dropped the ball over the try line. Prior to the game Mayson mentioned that all he wanted to do was to make his first tackle and take his first hit up then he would be right. After the kick off there were a few nervous members in the crowd waiting to see whether Mayson’s knee would hold up for the first Tackle. We were not to be disappointed “Bang” first hit up all O.K and several minutes later “Bang” first tackle, it was now OK for Pauline to watch the game although she was still a little nervous. The chat at half time was positive and discussed the need to stop the little errors that had let us down in the first half. As the second half started again we fell into the let the opposition score in the first 2 minutes of play. The message went out to tighten up the defence and start working hard again. So from the kick off the arm wrestle continued with Eltham starting to really disrupt Quins ball, eventually winning the turn over count 17 to 8. Quins managed to cross out wide and then several minutes later they managed to punish some lazy defense at the break down and score under the posts. Anyway back to the game at hand. Well from the kick off the Eltham boys slipped into an old habit that we thought we had gotten rid of. We fell off a few first up tackles and let the opposition score within the first two minutes of the game. MORE INFORMATION The next 15 minutes turned into an arm wrestle the tactic of having Angus and Flynn, two flanker, playing at 13 and 14 was really starting to disrupt any momentum that Quins were trying to gain.

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.
