SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS 7s RUGBY

OCTOBER 4TH 2014

On behalf of Bowral Rugby I’d like to welcome you to the Southern Highlands 7s. This is the 3rd year of the tournament and I’m delighted that with your support it continues to grow. I appreciate that many of you have travelled from Sydney, the ACT and regional NSW and I thank you for making the effort to join us here in Bowral.

The Southern Highlands 7s is foremost a sporting event. There will be over 100 games of rugby played today across the 4 fields at Eridge Park, culminating in the blue ribbon event, the Men’s Cup Final at the end of the day.

The Southern Highlands 7s is also about what happens before that game – the junior age groups (U14’s, U16’s and U18’s) and the young men of the Colts (U20’s). These are our players of the future and we take great pride in having one of the largest junior programs in the Illawarra. We’re investing in our future as a club and for the game of rugby.

For the first time I’m delighted to welcome womens 7s rugby to the Southern Highlands. We hope this is the beginning of a long and successful pathway for womens rugby here, and helps to open up rugby to junior girls in the area.

The Southern Highlands 7s is an event created for the enjoyment of the whole family. There is a large food tent with BBQ, snacks and soft drinks and a bar tent. We’ve introduced a local produce tent this year with various cheeses, dips and other local produce to be sampled and available for purchase plus select Southern Highlands 7s merchandise is also available. And for the young kids there are 2 bouncy castles and a popcorn machine.

The Southern Highlands 7s supports two very worthy charities – the 4K’s which supports special needs kids in the region, and the Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation, doing great work to help curb alcohol fuelled violence, particularly with our youth.

Finally I’d like to thank our sponsors, both of the club throughout the year and of this event. Without their support we would not be able to do the things we do to support and develop rugby in the Southern Highlands.

I hope you have a successful and enjoyable day.

ABOUT THE BLACKS

In 1972 a gathering of rugby tragics responded to a call to arms from founder Robin Croker to form a club to be known as the Bowral Blacks and to enter a team in the Canberra Cup competition. A second grade quickly followed as many local lads relished the opportunity of a game of rugby. A first grade premiership was won in 1973.

A change to the Illawarra competition occurred in 1978 so as to provide greater representative opportunities for players and reduce distances to be travelled. Five first grade, two third grade and an under 19’s premiership have been won since then. In 1998 the first grade team was awarded the honour of “Country Team of the Year.”

The Blacks are very proud of its two Wallabies, Jim Hindmarsh and Steve Streeter. Both lads are wonderful ambassadors for rugby and in particular the Bowral Club. A collective cheer resounded from lounge rooms

around the Highlands when it was announced that “ little Jimmy Hindmarsh of the Bowral Club” had run onto Cardiff Arms Park as a Wallaby.

Strong community support and a partnership with the local council enabled the building of the Clubhouse at Eridge Park. This provided a venue for the obligatory singing of songs and fanciful stories of 50m swerving runs by front rowers to score.

The Short Blacks are our Juniors. They are a strength of the club as boys, and some girls, develop a love of and skills in the game of rugby. Over 200 registered to play in 2014.

The Bowral Blacks Club is proud of its 42 year commitment to providing opportunity and support for thousands of boys, girls and men to experience the joy of rugby.

1990s1993 saw the advent of the Sevens Rugby World Cup in Scotland, where the sport was first played, and since then the event has taken place every four years - in Hong Kong, Argentina, Hong Kong and Dubai respectively.

Pacific Island heavyweights Fiji have claimed the title twice while and England, New Zealand and Wales have also been crowned World Champions.

While Australia is yet to claim the World Cup in the men’s competition, the Australian Women’s Sevens team beat all-comers to claim the inaugural Women’s Sevens World Cup in Dubai in 2009.

Rugby Sevens gained a further boost in stature when it was introduced to the Commonwealth Games in 1998, prior to the IRB recognising the true value of the game and launching its first World Sevens Series in 1999/2000

2000sAdopting a naming-rights sponsor in 2011, the HSBC Sevens World Series now boasts a core of 16 of the world’s top teams which compete in tournaments across the globe. New Zealand has claimed the Sevens World Series on eight occasions since its inception with Fiji, South Africa and Samoa the only other winners. Australia has never won a title, however has featured in the top

three in three of the 11 seasons - 1999/00, 2000/01 and 2009/10.

Sevens Rugby will only keep on building as the sport now enjoys Olympic status and is set to make its first appearance on the playing roster, in the men’s and women’s competitions, in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

HISTORY OF 7s1800s

The concept of seven-a-side Rugby was first born in the sleepy Scottish town of Melrose in 1883 where, an internal Rugby club dispute resulted in a split between the playing group. As the tale goes, neither the new or old club had enough players to field a 15-man team, so it was decided a seven-a-side match would go ahead instead.

With players enjoying extra space to work in, individual flare and fancy footwork gave life to a new version of running Rugby where more tries were scored and skill, timing and agility were key.

The fans soon took to the spectator-friendly sport, much like new cricket fans sit alongside the traditional Test match supporters at the popular hit-a-minute Twenty20 fixture.

1970s & 1980sA carnival of Rugby - with non-stop action on and away from the field - appealed largely to the expat community and the tournament grew steadily throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Sevens, with seven players on a team, playing seven minute halves across a weekend of non-stop high-octane competition, soon took off - not only in terms of the number of spectators coming to the

event - but also the number of club and international teams the tournament was attracting.

By 1982, the sport outgrew its original home at the Hong Kong Football Club and was relocated to the larger Hong Kong Stadium and as ticket demands regularly outstretched its capacity by the early 1990s, the stadium was rebuilt in 1994 as the majestic 40,000-seat ground it is today.

Taking pride of place on the Sevens calendar, Hong Kong’s turf has played host to a myriad of Rugby greats including the famed Ella brothers in the 1980s and Jonah Lomu and George Gregan in the 90s while handfuls of up-and-coming stars turn out at the “Jewel in the Sevens Crown” each year to try their hand on the world stage

We’re an award-winning design studio based in Bowral. We love working with small business.

THE THOMAS KELLY YOUTH FOUNDATION IS A NSW-BASED NON-FOR-PROFIT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED AFTER AN UNPROVOKED AND ULTIMATELY FATAL ATTACK ON THOMAS KELLY AS HE WALKED THROUGH SYDNEY’S KINGS CROSS DISTRICT ON A NIGHT OUT.

The Foundation was established to help curb the kind of violence that robbed Thomas of his life, and to make sure that our kids come home safe.

It has evolved into much more than that. Through the Foundation’s TAKE KARE model, we seek to change and improve our society by re-emphasizing the importance of family, friends and community.

The principal object of the Foundation is to reduce alcohol and drug-related violence and anti-social behaviour amongst young people in Australia by raising community awareness and influencing government regulation and industry practice. Some of this will be achieved through legislative change, while additional reform will be led by the Foundation under the TAKE KARE behaviour change model.

ABOUT TAKE KARETHOMAS’ PEERS AND FRIENDS KNEW HIM THROUGHOUT HIS SCHOOL LIFE AS “TK”.

One summer holiday Thomas drew a ‘TK’ in the sand. Tom’s younger sister Madeleine moved her brother’s thongs next to his sand drawing and took a photo

“Take care” is what we say to our loved ones when we say goodbye and ask them to look after themselves. It’s what we say in email communications as a sign-off, to strangers in the streets – it knows no boundaries. It was only natural that we could use our personal tragedy and Thomas’ initials to look at cultural, behavioral and social change – through a platform to be known as “TAKE Kare”.
