Rugby Handbook
The 2015 Rugby Handbook will be electronically delivered to all players today and is
available for viewing on Cranbrook Connect. This document is the first port of call for any
questions regarding Cranbrook Rugby. It outlines things such as training and playing
uniforms, protective equipment, 1st XV support as well as highlighting all Cranbrook 1st XV
Captains and those Cranbrookians that have gone on to represent the country at Schoolboy
and Wallaby level. The second half of the handbook is a High Performance Manual which is
a must read for all players as they prepare for the season ahead.
Macquarie Bank Scholarship – Hugh Summerhayes
During the week it was announced that Hugh Summerhayes was one of two recipients of the
Macquarie Bank Scholarship. As part of the Scholarship, Hugh will have access to the
different sections of Macquarie Bank: Macquarie Foundation, Macquarie Sports, Foreign
Exchange, Bullion and Fixed Income, Money Market, Property, Macquarie Capital, Corporate
Communications, Macquarie Legal and Hayden/Reynolds Tiwi Project
(www.tiwiproject.com).
Since its initial scholarships, some 37 boys have been offered the opportunity to work within
Macquarie Bank or the Macquarie Sports program. In the past charitable work has involved
working in Tonga (2004-2012), Fiji (2006-2009), Japan (2009), the Tiwi Islands (2010 to
present) and Canada (2012 to present).
Past recipients include Ben McCalman, Rob Horne, Kurtley Beale, Dean Mumm, Ben Daley,
Dave Dennis, Nathan Charles, Paddy Ryan, Patrick McCutcheon, Damian Fitzpatrick, Rowan
Kellam, Lachlan McCaffrey, Ben Batger, Jarrod Saffy and Afusipa Taumoepeau.
Rugby Refereeing
Are you an ex-player? Do you want to stay involved in the game? Would you like to have a
run around on Saturday mornings throughout the season? Have you done any refereeing
before? Do you look good in shorts, wear white laces and like blowing a whistle? Do you
say ‘laws’ rather than ‘rules’?
If you answer ‘yes’ to some or all of these questions, please contact our referee-in chief and
Davidson Housemaster, Jonathan Cumberlege - [email protected] , to
discuss the possibility of refereeing some of Cranbrook’s home matches this season.
The minimum qualification to referee is ‘SmartRugby’. Details here
