Dear
Here's the latest sporting and social news from MSP...
The business end of the club season has arrived... The senior 3s are first up with a semi-final this Saturday, while the premiers are already guaranteed a Jubilee Cup semi with a game to spare. The premier 2s have a chance to sew up a Hardham Cup semi in their game against Wests >>>
A special invitation to all MSP's women members and supporters this Saturday, who will be welcomed at the clubrooms with a complimentary glass of bubbly. There's also an opportunity to win $1000 when the 'Beat the Budgie' jackpot is drawn later >>>
Work on the new artificial sports field at St Pats is due to start in October, with a scheduled completion date in April so that it can be used for the 2013 season. The facility promises to be a great asset for the many college and MSP senior and junior teams based at Evans Bay >>>
Congratulations to MSP's 'Volunteers of the Month', Matt Buck and Tessa Murphy, for their tireless work around the club this year >>>
The highly successful Quiz Night in July promises to become an annual event - check out the photo gallery.... Good to see so many former players passing on their skills- Sean Cockburn co-coaching the colts, Dan Scanlon helping out with the senior 2s, Norm Broughton with the prem 1 and 2 backs, and Mark Bradshaw with the prem 2s also... Expect to see several Hurricanes in action this Saturday in the prem's game against Ories - Motu Matu'u, Jack Lam, Mark Reddish and Julian Savea for Ories, and Jeff To'omaga-Allen for MSP. Victor Vito is still unavailable through injury... Many thanks to Andrew Sander of Gallery Frames in Khandallah for framing the rugby jerseys in the clubrooms, and for his discount offered to MSP members....
