IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Coffs Harbour Rugby Union will be fielding 1 x 1st grade, 1 x 2nd grade and 1 x Under 19 side for the 2011 season. Due to a lack of front rowers and a failed request for leniency by the ARU the Crushers and the Breakers will be combined to make 1 x 1st grade side. A lack of commitment at training and general air of complacency from players has also lead to the decision to change back to a traditional club format. Those that pay, train, communicate well to coaches if they are going to be away, support the club when rostered on for raffles and bar duties, and show a commitment will be eligible for selection in all sides. Those that do not will find it hard to gain selection. Training is every Tuesday and Thursday at Advocate Rugby Park and we have a trial game against SCU at their new home ground BDC College. The competition starts the weekend after so we will see you at training!! Richard Officer - President
