Games Well with the recent adverse weather conditions and a couple of no turn ups we really haven't played since the beginning of August. However our most recent games against Beenleigh and Southern Bay although overall very good games both had their feisty moments to say the least. Some of the players from the SBGO Kiwi v Aussie Barbarians game.
Mini-Fest. The mini-fest this year was a great success with 15 teams attending from all over SEQ and a contingent from our Wellington 2006 friends Te Puke. Everything went like clockwork and regardless of whether playing or otherwise everyone clearly had a good time. I think its safe to say we have learn't a few lessons in recent years in how to organise this event so much so that we were able to make a nice little profit. Thanks to all organisers, workers and participants. Mini-fest photo's click here Fiji. To my knowledge this is the first tour
in which wives/partners were actively encouraged to participate
and judging by its success it won't be the last. From the onset
everyone enthusiastically went about making this a trip to remember.
A big thank to our Fijian hosts for giving us a game that wouldn't
wqsn't too strenuous and we all managed to get through unscathed
Fiji, Sevens style rugby played at pace, metaphorically speaking
considering that most of us are pushing 50. We also managed to
get a bit of sightseeing including a trip into the hinterland
including swimming under water falls and cava, a trip out around
the islands including snorkelling on the reefs. There was even
time to take in a local game which ended when the local constabulary
had to intervene between the two sides and a spot of shopping
for the ladies. Needless to say there was time to take in some
liquid refreshments and what for some was the highlight watching
the Wallabies trounce the All Blacks in the early hours. Thanks
to all our new friends and the staff at the Smugglers Cove for
making our stay a most enjoyable and eventful experience. Under 10's Green. SBGO are proud sponsors of the Sunnybank Under 10's Green team. On Sunday 10th June some of the more senior members of our club took time out to support and cheer on the lads. The youngsters put in a stirring effort against the Souths boys and we were more than mpressed by the skill levels, organisation and effort displayed by the team. We look forward to giving our continued support.
