Rugby Wrap

As we head into the final round of the GPS Rugby season against Toowoomba Grammar School, I would like to take this opportunity to look back on the season. Thanks to the many people who contribute to providing a safe and positive environment for our boys to experience the great game of Rugby. 

Over 750 young men participated in Rugby at Terrace in 2018 and all players, in all teams, in all matches, displayed great sportsmanship and respect for their opponents, they are to be congratulated for their performances.  Thank you to the coaches, many of whom are teachers, parents and Old Boys for giving up their time.  The success of Terrace Rugby is due in no small part to their invaluable assistance.  

Terrace Rugby is very fortunate to have such a committed group of Sport Office staff, teaching staff, parents and Old Boys.  

 Special thanks must go the following: 

• The Terrace Rugby Support Committee lead by Mr Damian Hearne and Mr Sean Dollar. A special thanks to Mr Andrew Hiley and Mr Lee Bodimeade who are first to arrive and last to leave Tennyson on game day to set up and pull down; 
• Mr Michael Fallon from the Rugby Support Group and Mrs Melisa Josephson from the TLG along with all parents who assisted in the BBQ pit and the canteen on game days; 
• Mr Andrew Dowling, Mr Lawrence Scott and Mr Simon Porter for their efforts with the home game scoreboard, match day program and sponsorship; 
• Mrs Helen Kirk and her hard-working sales staff for their efforts with the merchandise tent; 
• Dr Ben Forster, his team of parent doctors and twelve9teen physiotherapy who ensured all boys were in safe hands at our games;  
• Our Terrace eferees who quietly go about their jobs;  
• Mr Alan Kennedy, Mr Craig Jesberg and Mr Matt Wrathall who prepare the fields at Tennyson each weekend;

and finally,

• All the parents and friends who supported from the sidelines.  We have several long serving parent coaches whose sons are graduating this year, who over the years have dedicated countless hours to the program. I thank you all. 

I would also like to acknowledge all Open Rugby players and thank them for their efforts over the years playing Rugby at Terrace, some since 2010. The Terrace Community is very proud of you and in your final year at Terrace we want to publicly thank you for pulling on the red and black jersey for the final time this Saturday.
