Newport Breakers Rugby Club held their Ladies Day and Tackling Violence Round at their home ground, Porters Reserve, on Saturday June 15th.
Ladies Day is one of the most popular annual events on the Newport Breakers Rugby Club Calendar. This year’s Ladies Day proceeds raised will go to the Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter.
Tickets included drinks, food and entertainment. A mega raffle ran throughout the day with great prizes and to raise yet more funds. Huge thanks to Bec Hunt and her team for organising yet another great Ladies Day for Newport rugby Club. Just over 90 ladies attended this year and raised $1800 for the Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter !!
Scrumptious chicken and salad was on the menu while Matthew Jackson entertained all singing and guitaring.
"It was a really lovely afternoon with a fabulous bunch of women! " Bec said late this week,
"Big thanks to Chargrill Charlie’s Mona Vale who are a long time sponsor of Newport Rugby Club. Also many thanks to all the local businesses who again donated many raffle items and to Jess, The Plant Stylist, who made the Club look so stylish with her vases and greenery.
Ladies Day could not have had such a successful event without the help of Rachel Wilson, the House Manager for Newport Junior Rugby Club." Bec explained
Four games resulted in the Newport Breakers undefeated season at home continuing to a 16th game with 1st Grade defeating Hawkesbury Agriculture 43 to 24.
In the earlier games
2nd Grade: Newport 12 - Hawksebury 7
Colts: Newport 45 - Hawkesbury 14
3rd Grade: Newport 65 - Hawkesbury 0
Sam Carson was a welcome special guest during the earlier matches. Sam, after whom the Sam Carson Cup is named, played 100 club games for Norths as a halfback before sustaining a severe brain injury in 2009 from a balcony fall. His family (Norths Life Member Peter Carson) established the Fresh Tracks Foundation to define fresh pathways for people involved in acquired brain injuries.
Rugby Director Chris Hall, who was instrumental in establishing the Sam Carson Cup in 2012 said “One of the main reasons behind the idea was that we wanted to create an identity and culture within colts which reflected mateship, respect, and love for both Norths and rugby."
While later on, younger ladies led from Newport Juniors led 1st Grade out on the field.
