Manulife International Youth Rugby 10s Tournament

Dear gentlemen of rugby,

The Manulife International Youth Rugby 10s Tournament will be held this Saturday (Dec 1st) at the Singapore Polo Club fields (Mount Pleasant Road) - See map

We will be taking part in the under-13s (Sec 1), under-14s (Sec 2) and under 16s (Sec 3 and Sec 4) categories.

Transport to the tournament will be provided. The bus will leave school at 11.30am. So assemble at the Foyer by 11.25am.

Since the Singapore Polo Club is a huge compound, we need to sort out some admin matters

Firstly, the under-13s will be playing at Pitch 1; the under-14s will be playing at Pitch 10 and the under-16s will be playing at Pitch 13. Each age-grade team will be playing a minimum of two 1o-a-side matches before proceeding to the knockout stages. The first set of matches are expected to kick off at 1.30pm for lower sec and 12.30pm for upper sec.

To help the teachers identify the Montfortian players [the Polo Club is huge...trust me], please wear your Montfort Rugby T-Shirt at all times. A detailed kit list and instructions will be issued to all of you after Thursday's training session.

The tournament is expected to end at around 5.30pm. Transport back to school is provided.

Mr Singh (HP: 94505434) will be the contact person on match day. If your parents have any questions, feel free to call either Mr Vincent Toh, Mr Vincent Yong, Miss Diane or Mr Singh.

Do encourage your parents to pop down to the Polo Club. I am sure they will enjoy the matches on show.

I have included maps of the Polo Club and the pitches below:
