Arncliffe Scots Rugby League

TRAINING: Unless players hear from team staff (and team staff receive a message from Glenys) all training is on this week.

PHOTOS: U/6 to U/12 photo will be taken at Cahill Park on Saturday regardless of the weather and if games are on or off – they will be taken under the Veranda.  Details on times for photos will be made available tomorrow.

STATE OF ORIGIN: Game Two is on Wednesday night at again we will be having an evening of fun (and a chance to do some much needed fundraising) – ALL welcome! Entry is $5 and includes a ticket in the draw for an Andrew Johns signed football and two doubles tickets.  Make sure you are there!

Training for Thursday 5th June is off for U/6 to U/17 grades. No decision has yet been made on U/19 and A. grade.

Also no decision yet on whether the wet weather has effected the A. Grade games this weekend in Cronulla.

UPDATE : please note that all games in the Cronulla district have been cancelled this weekend due to grounds under water – therefore the A. grade game has been called off this week to be played the following weekend.

Scots have always provided strong, skilled players to the ranks of St George’s junior representative teams and 2008 is no different to years past.  We are proud of all our players but in particular would like to congratulate the following St George rep players.

• Congratulations to Nathan Dunn U/16 on winning Best and Fairest St. George Matthews Cup 2008.
• Congratulations to Nathan Dunn, Dion Harris and Joseph Rokoqo – selection in St.George High Performance Training Squad 2008
• Congratulations to Kenny, Tayleb and Cleveland U/13 – Rikki, Ali and Peli U/14 and Sitti, William and Nicholas U/15 on selection in first Development Squad of 2008

Well done guys!

Due to the wet weather (Barton Park ground is under water) and there are no games this weekend for the U/6 to U/19, training has been called off for today Tuesday 3rd June.  Thursday training will be reviewed and advised on Thursday morning.

Well we are into Round 3 this weekend and with the school holidays being in full swing there will be no Mini or Mod games this weekend.  Below is the current draw for Under 13s and above -
