Saturday 5th September 2009
Before the game against Torquay there were two presentations.
Brixham Community College presented the Club with a new mural depicting the strong links between the Town, the Club and the Fishing Industry - pictured below
The second presentation, to Brixham Youth RFC, was by Geoff Simpson of the RFU. This was of the prestigious RFU Seal of Approval which the Club has been working towards. Click the ClubMark logo above to find out more
Dog fouling at Astley Park stinks
We regularly have to clear the top pitch of dog muck before junior and senior matches. The problem has now reached such a level that we have had to interrupt matches so that mess can be cleared from the pitch and. on the orders of referees, some matches had to be postponed altogether due to the amount of dog muck in the area.
There isn't any excuse for failing to pick up after a dog and all owners are encouraged to bag their dog's mess and get rid of it safely using a red dog bin, or a standard litter bin.
Anyone caught failing to pick up after their dog in Torbay may be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice for £75. If someone chooses not to pay a Fixed Penalty Notice they may be fined up to £1000 in court for a dog fouling offence.
Boxing Day Rugby
supporting
HELP for HEROES
Brixham welcomed back players from near and far for their Club v Presidents XV match on Boxing Day. With a long history of players joining the Armed Services the Club used the occasion to raise money for Help for Heroes.
Despite the squally showers the two sides - comprised almost entirely of players who have graduated from Brixham Youth Rugby - produced a fast-paced and entertaining spectacle. With no league points to play for, this was not a match of set moves and tactical play but one of individual flair and enjoyment.
The final score was probably consigned to history shortly after the final whistle and while the result, a victory for the Presidents XV, might be remembered the more important outcome was the money raised.
The final total is likely to be well over £1200 and the Club are indebted to the players and referee for providing the entertainment; members of the Royal Naval Association who ran the bucket collection; the sponsors who provided the raffle prizes (St Austell Brewery and Marks & Spencers) and all the other helpers on the day.
