NEWSLETTER ROUND 6

There has been plenty happening over the last few weeks at Russell Vale Junior Football Club and it is fair to say that the season is now in full swing. Thankfully the weather gods have been kind to us and there has been plenty of action on and off the pitch. As we mentioned last week our under 7’s played down at an Albion Park Gala Day last weekend and for those of you that brought the Mercury last Thursday you would have seen our players featured in the Junior Sports section. There were some great action shots and also a Team shot that really captures the essence of the day. Off the pitch we have had our Team photos taken and electrical work upgrades and also the installation of benches for the technical areas on the main field. Thank you to all Teams who either cancelled or rescheduled training as the electrical systems were being upgraded and hopefully we will have no more major disruptions to our training schedules until the end of the season. Also thank you to Jeff Charlesworth, Troy Bray and Tony Maddox who between them co-ordinated the moving and raising of our container which stores a lot of our SSG and other equipment. It was quite a project and your time and effort was very much appreciated!!

Rd 5 U15.2G v Bulli

The mighty RVJFC under 15 girls team had a magnificent victory over a tough and uncompromising Bulli outfit at the Cawldron on Friday night. With plenty of quality players sidelined thru illness, injury and other commitments the girls were always going to be up against it. Thankfully two of our Club’s most dedicated and skilful players came to our aid in Eden and Samantha from the under 13’s and them playing meant we would have 2 fresh reserves to call on during the game.

Rd 5 U11.3 v Kiama

On a cold windy morning in Kiama Jordan Errington bagged four goals, two in each half. Unfortunately the best of his goals was disallowed for an offside decision that highlighted the inexperience of the match officials. Kiama made a game of it by pulling one back from a corner straight after HT. That goal also left our keeper Ethan Johnson injured and once again Brody Armour went between the sticks.

Russell Vale VIPERS Match Report

Round 5, Sunday 13th May 2012( Mothersday)

Sunday saw the Russell Vale VIPERS go up against Helensburg at the Cawley Park Cauldron in a Round 2 rescheduled match…

The Vipers knew before hitting the field that it would be a big task as many of the Vipers were injured or away on other commitments so the lack of substitutes were going to prove to be a problem ,thankfully Jasmine Benn from the Under 15’s girls put her hand up and stepped up to the challenge  ….

Luke Kerr Gala Day a great success

On Sunday the club hosted the annual Luke Kerr U8 Gala Day. Once the wind died down we were blessed with great weather and 17 teams came along to enjoy the day. Many of the kids took advantage of playing in the “Barbarians” side that we put together to ensure everyone had a full quota of 4 games.

Thanks to everyone who gave up their Sunday to spend it with us, it was much appreciated. A massive thanks to all the parent, and grandparent, helpers. Without your contribution the day would not have been the success that it was.

Well done to all of the boys and girls who put in a lot of effort and showed great sportsmanship right throughout the day.

We received many compliments throughout the day for putting on a great event and it has also been nice to receive a few complimentary e-mails from those that attended. Everyone’s contribution has been part of this success and will ensure that our Gala Day continues to receive the support that it does.

THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH.
