All SPAS award recipients are invited to join us for Saints v Newent then awards straight after

Unrestricted rugby is being played at Tregorrick and the Saints have already rung up a notable win over Camborne in a hotly contested first pre-season fixture (as I type this).

Whilst we move our focus to on-pitch matters at this time of year, there is some unfinished business, originally thwarted by Covid; the awarding of Senior Players Award Scheme (SPAS) ties and caps.

Around 24 months ago many of you current and ex-senior players applied for your caps and ties. We have processed them all and they now sit at the club, waiting for an occasion to present them.

That time is upon us!

We have decided to muster everyone involved at the club for the Saturday 25th September Newent RFC home game. All the recipients can watch the Saints and get re-acquainted (if it’s been a while) over a refreshment. After the game and once the Saints have finished eating, we’ll ask everyone involved into the main bar where the presentations will start (so around 5pm).

If you have played for St Austell RFC as a senior player and have no idea what we are talking about, please click HERE to find out more and to make a claim for an award.

The following people are requested to attend. If you cannot attend then let us know via rugby.events@staustellrfc.co.uk or message me or any of the Exec and we’ll hold a second presentation later in the season:

After presentations we thought it would be great to hold a ‘shout’. We’ll line up some strong voices and song sheets to help you along with that.

REQUEST – Can everyone who already have their ‘SPAS’ ties please wear them for this day? It will be fantastic to see everyone wearing their ties with pride.

If you haven’t been up to Tregorrick for a while (actually, that’s just about everyone at the moment!) and if you are not a member, it’s just £5 entrance to watch a great South West 1 league game. If you fancy becoming a member before this event then please follow this LINK to find out about the benefits of St Austell RFC membership.

If you are just getting reacquainted with the club again, allow me to remind you that you are welcome to join us for a pre-match lunch before most Saints home fixtures. To find out more about that please click HERE.

See you there!
