From the President The byes are now over and we play each week until the Grand Final. All grades, except 4s are in the top four, with fours in fifth place chasing a finals berth. This weekend we play Viking at home at the Gungahlin enclosed oval. Gungahlin’s water boy, Henry Speight, finally gets to pull on his boots for the Eagles and will run on in first grade with his Brumbies compatriot Josh MannRea. First grade will play for the Roman Warcaba Cup. Roman a former Vikings, Navy and Australian Services Rugby player and coach passed away on 16 June 2007 after being diagnosed with leukaemia. The Eagles and Vikings decided an appropriate way for the two clubs to celebrate Roman’s involvement with rugby was to play for a Cup each year. This is the 7th Anniversary of the Cup and Roman’s son Liam will be there on Saturday to present the Cup to the winning Captain. Ruaidhrí Murphy, Conrad Hoffman and Lionel Cronje are all representing the Brumbies at the inaugural Rugby World Club 10s in Singapore ROSTER All hands on deck please. Please offer to help in Canteen/BBQ/ cleaning up. Jacko needs to be gone by 1:30 and the Powers have a wedding to attend - JP’s! CONGRATULATIONS JOHN POWER! 2nd Grade pull down posts and clean up Peter Johnson 4th GRADE The mighty fourth grade has had two excellent wins over Uni Norths and is currently one point out of the four with a game in hand. Game one at Uni-Norths home ground had the boys ready to play and started the game strongly, the boys again defended strongly and were able to put some good attacking flair together that had the Uni boys grabbing at air. We welcomed back Stuart Crew after his sabbatical and Stu demonstrated he had lost none of his flair. Overall the boys played attacking footy and were able to get the required bonus point from the game. Game two was played under lights at the Gungahlin enclosed oval, a chilly night but a great atmosphere. This was Disco Dawes’ 200th game for the club. Great milestone. Congratulations Disco. With a good supporter turnout the game was played on a sticky surface that made handling difficult. Again the boys played positive rugby. We welcomed back Tyronne who in combination with Haidn had the Uni defence at sixes and sevens. The forward pack was dominant and never took a backward step. The game was played in great spirit and the mighty Eagles went on to record another win. Unfortunately we lost Sam Livingstone for the season and talking to Sam, he may hang up the boots. We know that Sam will be around the club in some capacity either in the canteen or helping this old coach out on game day.
