Junior Giants getting ready for the season

Junior Rugby League off to a great start !

Preparation for the upcoming league season is well under way for the Mullumbimby Juniors. To kick the season off the Mullumbimby Rugby Leagues Club will play host to the Parramatta Eels. Each years the Eels travel away from their home base to acclimatize in preparation for the season ahead. Parramatta will be playing trial games against the Cronulla Sharks at Ballina on Saturday 14th and then the Warriors on Saturday 21st February. For the week between these games the 50 strong contingent will enjoy the facilities in and around our beautiful Brunswick Valley.

The visit commences on Sunday 15th when the squad attends our first of two juniors sign on days. The Eels have volunteered their time to meet our players and assist with the registration process. The Eels have encouraged our juniors to bring along an item they may like autographed.

Throughout the week the Eels will be adhering to a strict training regime each morning however the afternoons remain open to a variety of arranged events to support both the senior and junior clubs. The Brunswick Heads Surf Club will also benefit with the Eels helping out to sell raffle tickets at the Brunswick Hotel on Sunday 15th. The Brunswick Hotel is a major sponsor of the senior club.

As a fundraiser to the season ahead the Juniors have arranged a Golf day at the Ocean Shores Country Club. The new Secretary Manager Wayne Chislett has been instrumental in the organizing sponsorship for the event. 20 Eels including Assistant Coachs Alan Wilson, Jason Taylor and Captain Nathan Cayless have confirmed their place in the field, as have Jamie Lyon and Daniel Wagon. The social golf event will be a four man ambrose. The Clubs Professional Greg Smith will attempt to assist each group on the day by playing a drive on the 5th hole.

The Cost of the day is $100.00, which includes golf with two of the playing staff, a cart and dinner at the club. For any non-playing persons interested in attending the after game function the cost will be $25.00 for dinner.

Bookings for the Golf and/or dinner are essential.
