BALMY BEACH RUGBY ALUMNI—SINCE 1955
“TO CELEBRATE THE HISTORY AND CAMARADERIE OF BEACH RUGBY
AND TO WORK TO ENSURE THE SUCCESSFUL FUTURE OF BBRC BY
PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT.”
Huggy Kerry Singh and Hubert Bidens Canada vs USA Aug 2011 BMO Field.
Huggy, Kerry Singh, suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while playing rugby for the Beach and is confined to a wheelchair.
In 1997, we assisted Huggy in buying a wheelchair accessible, hand-controlled van, but like the rest of us it erodes!
Huggy has virtually no funding to purchase a new vehicle so he has created a website to raise funds.
If you have any ideas on how to assist Huggy or wish to donate the link is www.hugsvanfund.ca.
The Alumni Executive will create some fund raising ideas such as 50/50 draws at our dinners, etc.
“Why We Played The Game”
When the battle scars have faded
And the truth becomes a lie
And the weekend smell of liniment
Could almost make you cry.
When the last rucks well behind you
And the man that ran now walks
It doesn’t matter who you are
The mirror sometimes talks
Have a good hard look old son!
The melons not that great
The snoz that takes a sharp turn sideways
Used to be dead straight
You’re an advert for arthritis
You’re a thoroughbred gone lame
Then you ask yourself the question
Why the hell you played the game?
Was there logic in the head knocks?
In the corks and in the cuts?
Did common sense get pushed aside?
By manliness and guts?
