Given Fr Peter Monaghan is leaving Salesian College at the end of the year we have arranged for a farewell function to be held at the clubrooms on Friday the 18th of November from 7.00pm.

This is intended not just as a farewell but as an expression of thanks to Peter for his magnificent contribution over a long period of time.(Note,he will be coming back for our President XI vs Rector’s XI in February next year).We will be spreading the news to all the sporting clubs that represent Rupertswood for anyone involved that would like to attend.This will be a very casual night with a free barbecue(sausage sizzle)and drinks at bar prices.

Hopefully as many can attend as possible understanding this is a difficult time of year leading into Christmas etc.

Rupertswood Cricket Club Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday training sessions have seen big numbers down at the beautiful Rupo Ground complex, and Tristram has already fitted in well, bringing along a host of intensive and effective activities to improve not only our cricket skills, but our general approach to fitness also. Congratulations to all for their dedication and hard work before the season begins. Let’s keep it up!

Rupertswood Cricket Club plays “The Crusaders” on 30 October 2011 & the MCC XXIX on 29 January 2012. We will be hosting “The Crusaders” in our Annual Match on Sunday 30 October 2011 11am start. 35 overs each.

The Rupertswood Cricket Club Specialist Coach for the 2011/2012 season is 26 year old Bowling all-rounder Tristram Douglas.

Tristram has most recently been competing in the Northumberland Premier Division in England and has played 1st XI cricket from the age of 16. He currently holds Level 1 Coaching Accreditation and is working towards Level 2.

As a coach Tristram loves working with and developing youngsters using his coaching skills and playing knowledge. Seeing cricketers mature as players and individuals gives him great personal fulfillment.

Tristram also has a degree in Sports Coaching Science gained at Manchester University (2003-2006) and he was University Captain and Chairman which required organisation and resourcefullness to be at a high level. He will arrive in Australia early on 13th September 2011.
