To The Croft,

We will be having a meeting this Monday 12th December, 7.30pm at Pennant Hills Bowlo for all players and potential players for 2012.

As you aware Steve Broughton-Rouse retired from coaching this year after many successful years at the club.

Next year Grant and Richie are moving up to 1st Grade and we’ve appointed a Head Coach in Jim Harnett who will oversee the coaches and help implement new structures for the club.

So if you’re keen to play Beecroft Rugby Club again in 2012 come down and meet other players and Jim and hear what we’ve got installed for 2012.  It’s looking to be exciting times ahead for the Croft.

Again, we are looking to field 5 grades teams, a Colts side and we will also be looking to bring back an U85’s team in the mid week comp.

Also, we’ve entered teams into pre season tournaments and we are also looking at a pre season trip in 2012.

I hope you can make it down and it shouldn’t take up to much of your time.  If you’ve got mates that are looking to play with us next season, make sure you bring them along too.

Dylan Schofield
