I write to congratulate the University of the Sunshine Coast Rugby Club on the premiership success of the USC Barbarians A Grade Seniors.
I was very pleased to attend the grand final and watch the Barbarians dominate their opponents. It was a fantastic afternoon of Rugby action.
On-field success is usually reflective, and often a result, of a strong administration and a dedicated team of volunteers and members. It is clear that the USC Rugby Club has many important contributors, both on, and off, the field.
A Big congratulations to the players, and of course the sponsors, coaches, volunters and club members. I wish the USC Barbarians all the very best for the new season.
Yours Sincerely,
Jarrod Bleijie, MP

A message from the President:
Now that the dust has settled, I can now gather my thoughts on the last few weeks and begin to acknowledge the work of our members in making the A Grade Grand Final event such a huge success.
At a committee meeting prior to the A Grade Semi Finals, the opportunity of hosting the Grand Final was discussed, should we be successful in defeating Noosa in the first final. There were no illusions that it would require a monumental effort to make this event happen, and the general consensus was that it would be too much for us to manage as well as a costly one when it come to fencing the event as well as the other costs that go along with it, and to be unsure of how this would result for the club financially.
I was not happy to pass up the opportunity to host the Grand Final if we were given the chance, so did a lot of work with Blake McMillan to figure out how we could keep costs to a minimum in order to make it a viable proposition.

Hi All,
WOW, what a season it has been so far and we are now nearing the end so that we can all have a break before we start to focus on the 2016 season.
I’d like to congratulate all the teams on their commitment this year to date and wish you all luck for those that have been successful in reaching the finals. Our U12’s are in a great position and I’m sure are very confident of doing very well in the finals, the U13’s have made a big improvement this year and are in the finals, and also have some very tough competition ahead but I’m sure will do well. Our U14’s and U15’s have had some massive challenges this season with numbers and injuries but have also done your club very proud. Our U17/18’s are in finals contention and also have some tough games ahead in the finals.

Steve Scotland writes…
I always knew that the game against Maroochydore was going to be a really tough game and the swans showed that they were up to the task. The score was pretty close there for most of the game with the swans peppering our line for 5 minutes straight in the second half. I was really pleased that we held them out. I thought that was a sign that we were pretty confident in our ability to defend our line. I also thought we are starting to control territory a lot better. We have learnt in earlier rounds that whilst we have fantastic attacking ability across the park, it accounts for nothing if you are camped in your own 22. We are maturing as a team and developing well with how to play the game in particular parts of the field.
There were a few stand outs on the weekend. Again I thought Anthony Graham played really well. He is playing really great football at the moment. Matty Macaulay played strongly again. I thought Steve Burrows played really well slotting in for an injured Cory TeHuia. It was pleasing to see Alexander Millington play well at the back. Besides a couple of average kicking options with a 12 men overlap, he played solidly and starting to hit his straps. I also thought big Trent at prop played well. He was really unlucky to be given a yellow card. Brett Letcher at 12 had a really solid defensive game, pulling off some really dominant tackles for most of the game.
