Round 14 vs Barossa
This week it’s an abbreviated newsletter, as I prepare to join the exodus to Melbourne for the second test against the British & Irish Lions. It’s another important week in the countdown to finals for all Brighton sides.
Saturday sees us playing at home against Barossa. The Get into Rugby squad and the Under 8s start us off at 8:00am. We then have games all day until the Premier grade plays at 4.50pm. With only five rounds remaining before finals, all sides will be looking for wins to confirm their ladder positions.
After the day’s games we will be showing the second test between the Wallabies and the British & Irish Lions on the big screen upstairs, and enjoying Culture Night. Stay for a meal and a drink and enjoy the evening!

South Australian Lions Tour
The South Australian Lions Tour bus headed off on Wednesday on their epic journey, and have already stopped in at Bordertown Football Club and Geelong Rugby Club on their way to Melbourne for the second test.
Along the way, the team will also be raising funds for the charity Hearts in Rugby Union, a charity where ex-players and supporters can help those who have suffered a catastrophic injury playing our game. They aim to ensure those players that are or have been injured receive the best possible support throughout their lives, and to help those suffering financial hardship post injury.

Code of Conduct
The club encourages any player, spectator or other supporter to report any issues you may encounter out at rugby.
The Rugby Australia Code of Conduct provides a set of standards for everyone involved in Rugby to ensure it is played in a safe, fair and inclusive environment. It also outlines the procedures for reporting, complaint handling and investigations of alleged breaches.
Brighton Rugby Club and all of our members and supporters have a duty to protect those involved in the game, and it is important to report someone who has acted against one or more of Rugby Australia’s policies, so appropriate action can be taken if necessary.
Please approach your coach or manager, one of our Committee members, or our Member Protection Officer Catherine Costello if you need to discuss anything that concerns you.
