JRCS GRAND FINALS
The Junior Rugby Clubs Singapore League ran from February to June and included most of the local clubs. With 50 squads taking part across all clubs and age groups, the SCC Rugby Academy fielded 9 teams. The Academy had our most successful season to date with 6 Grand Final wins: last weekend both U11 teams – the SCC Lions and the SCC Tigers – won their respective tournaments, and the SCC U12 won their grand final.
Last weekend the Academy topped up our achievements with the SCC Lions taking the U10A tournament, and the SCC U13 and SCC U15 squads taking their championships.
Fantastic performances by all involved – congratulations to players, coaches and parents!

KEEP HYDRATED
With the current hot and humid weather, it’s very easy to become dehydrated. This is particularly so for the young, and those partaking in outdoor activities – such as rugby and touch!
Dehydration affects our brain’s ability to regulate body temperature, and by the time we experience actual thirst, our brains are already partially dehydrated.
Please make sure your children hydrate well before they come down to training, ensure that they have a full water bottle with them, and encourage them to take sips regularly even if they don’t feel thirsty. If they run out of water, there is water pitch side where they can refill their bottles.
KIT
If your team is taking part in games or tournaments, we would kindly ask that you ensure that your child is wearing their full and up-to-date kit. They must wear the latest playing jersey/touch tops which have our sponsors latest logos on them. Please keep the old tops with the old logos just for training.
We need to honour our sponsors contribution and support by wearing the tops that they have sponsored for us.
LIGHT SNACKS AT DEMPSEY
Don’t forget that light snacks are available for sale at the F&B Hut at Dempsey. You will now be able to buy muffins, sandwiches and hot dogs to go with your coffee! Please note that you now pay by PayNow and cash, or you can sign on your account if you are a Singapore Cricket Club member.
