Two parents needing baby sitters on Saturday mornings, and too lazy to drive from Beldon to Wanneroo, started it up, I believe.

[Burgs]

Right.
From my cunning research it would appear they are punching bags in the Juniors Comps?
25-0 for the Bye and 40+ to play North Coast...
Going by location I would imagine our Joondalup friends may be able to shed some light on the matter?

[fulvio sammut]

A disaffected splinter group from the Joondalup disaffected splinter group from the Wanneroo Club?

Give it time and they'll splinter off into the Slightly More North Coast Rugby Club, the Mid North Coast Rugby Club, the Even Futher North Coast Rugby Club, the Futherest North Coast By Far Rugby Club...

[Burgs]

Go much further north and they can join with the Geraldton RUFC!

[GIGS20]

Sounds like by that stage they won't want to join with anybody. They'll just train and not play any games, because they want all their games at home

Very unfair lads, newish junior club about 15 kms north of Joondalup, 2 years old has grown into about 11 teams, dedicated parents run it for U12's, They train up there in Quins Rock and come down to Wanneroo Scenic Drive to play their games just like everyone else. They play in orange.

wanneroo and Joondalup both sent peps to advise the fledging club how to orgainise stuff when they started (registration, strips etc...) at the request of RugbyWA.

BTW Joondalup now has 40ish junior sides.

Thanks TQ1, as always the lack of feedback leads to idle uninformed chat

Is it an overflow of Joondalup playing numbers or new people to the WA Rugby scene?

[Thequeerone]

My guess would be new - it's definitely suckered in new parents to help run stuff (Quinns Rock is a new expanding suburb so lots of new families) - their kids are young and they live a long way out ( not by your standards Burgs but I'm talking driving in rush hour traffic to get the tackers to training on Tues and Thurs about 4pm and going back home in the Traffic at 5.30) so it works out better for these people to do their own thing.

Met a couple of Moms at various open days and the like - in general they are having fun as it is so small they all can pitch in easily.

Hopefully when the kids are bigger they will continue their rugby where ever suits them. Joondalup would be my preference but eh just be happy to see a few more "locals" on the list.
