It is with great pleasure we announce the winners of the 2018 Cottesloe Budgy Smuggler Polls with option B the clear winner!

1: When did you first get involved with Cott?

We came over in January 2007 to coach on a one year arrangement. I came over for an interview (chat with the powerbrokers) in November 2006 and once I saw the view from the car park at Harvey Field I was sold.

Adult rugby training has well and truly resumed in preparation for the 2018 season. Attendance has been decent so far but the coaching team are looking to pick it up from here. All players of all grades are welcome to come down to polish up the skills for the new year and simultaneously run off the Christmas turkey. Training starts at 6.30 sharp every Tuesday and Thursday night.

It could be argued that apart from the president and the first grade tighthead prop, the most important person in the club is the man who sells the beer. Our new Bar Manager, Lloyd Darmody, will take up the reins of the clubhouse imminently and he has agreed to answer a few questions with yours truly.

For 2018 we have created a new segment  where we will introduce a player from the club and have them answer a few questions. The purpose of this idea is to introduce the greater playing group to our huge Cottesloe Rugby Club Diaspora and broader membership base. Each fortnight Conor, pint in hand, will put one player or member from the club to the question. It will be light-hearted in nature, so don’t expect solutions to the Wallabies tactical weaknesses. 

For the first week, we have used our new President John Cameron as our Guinea pig and he has agreed to answer a few questions

On the morning of Sunday the 26th of October, the clubrooms hosted our annual general meeting. It was very well attended, with a broad range of participants appearing from life members to players to underage representatives.
