Wednesday 10th, SMCRFC Match, Jordan Harker Football Match, Hill/Bailey Hockey Match

posted 9 Mar 2010 06:41 by Alice Fitton

WEDNESDAY 10TH 5:30PM
SMCRFC VS CHAD'S
Maiden Castle Rubber Crumb Pitch

This is the biggest match of the year for SMCRFC.
After our 52-15 win over Trev's to finish off last term, we are coming into a bit of form and now face Chad's, the team that got demoted with us last year. If you're going to come to a rugby match this year, make it this one.
Two evenly matched teams battling it out on a perfect surface, it's all about who wants it more. There promises to be fireworks and some good running rugby.

JORDAN HARKER MEMORIAL FOOTBALL MATCH
WEDNESDAY 10TH 7:30PM
M.C RUBBER CRUMB

As many of you will know, Jordan Harker, a second year History student in Castle College, tragically died shortly before Christmas. Jordan was a keen footballer, playing for the University and Castle teams as well as Linthorpe FC, his local team at home. The 3 clubs are coming together this Wednesday (the 10th) to play a one-off exhibition match in his memory. The game is being played on the rubber crumb pitch at Maiden Castle, kicking off at 7:30pm. Donations will be requested on the gate with all the money raised going to the Great North Air Ambulance, the charity Jordan ran the Great North Run for. It would be great to see as many people as possible at the game to make the occassion as special as it deserves to be.

Sportsman's Ball!

The annual St Mary's College Sportsman's Ball has taken place for a few years now. It is a celebration of college sport, and entertainment is run by the sports teams, but everyone is Mary's is invited to attend.

Last year it was very successfully run by Anna Chamberlain-Webber, Michael Gaunt and Stephen Platts and started in Boathouse before moving to Loft. This year Alice Fitton and Ross Clark wanted to build on the success of the previous year and bring the event into Mary's. The evening ran smoothly and started with a drinks reception in the Kenworthy Hall, followed by team competitions, a snack buffet,  and the team talent show before everyone moved to Studio for the end of the evening.

A judges panel made up of Phil Gilmartin, Emily Hughes and Craig Williams decided after much deliberation that the hockey club were the winners of the talent show competition, making them reigning champions. Better luck next year, rugby!

Thanks to everyone involved this year, particularly Emily Warburton-Brown, Emily Hughes, James Liddell, James Giles, Joe McWilliams, Sarah May and Jinden Badesha.

Team Durham Volunteering

posted 19 Jan 2010 12:29 by Alice Fitton

Team Durham is offering opportunities to volunteer in the local community as part of the Team Durham Community Outreach program, these opportunities vary from coaching in schools to playing sport with the homeless or volunteering with people in drug rehabilitation, and vary in sporting roles from a kick around with a football, to white water rafting or belly dancing. 

Each program the team puts on requires student volunteers to maintain it, we are looking for more volunteers to help expand Team Durham's work in the local community and pick up on something that the director of sport, Peter Warburton, says is 'crucial to our role as a university'.

How can you help?
-Get in touch with the community team by emailing teamdurham.community@durham.ac.uk to ask for more information
-Look on the website MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "exdurf.dur.ac.uk" claiming to be www.teamdurham.com/community at the opportunities to volunteer and different case studies of events in the past
-Encourage others to get involved as well
-Volunteer for 2hours a week 

What is in it for you?
-Sporting experience, good on your CV and for growth in character
-Potential for Coaching qualifications
-Support from the community team for job applications, CV writing, interview technique
-Meet people in the real world, outside of college life
-Put something back into the community
-Enjoy Sport in a non-competitive atmosphere
-Regular prizes for volunteers

If you would like more information please email the team asking about volunteering this next term or visit the Community webpage on the team durham website.

Thanks,

Team Durham Community Outreach Team

Cheerleading

posted 19 Jan 2010 12:27 by Alice Fitton

Interested in having a go at cheerleading or helping to set up a college cheerleading club? Read below:


I write on behalf of the Durham Divas to offer your college the opportunity to put together a cheerleading squad, or to improve the one you already have, with the help of a dedicated stunt group from the university cheerleading team.

This academic year we will be organising two college cheerleading competitions, and we would love for all the colleges to be represented. We will be running stunt/jump/dance workshops with college teams as required in order to prepare you for the competitions.

The first college cheerleading competition will be in early March (date tbc), and the second on Friday 7th May 2010 - plenty of time for your team to be practicing and perfecting their routine!

If there is interest within your college in setting up a cheerleading squad and/or entering the competitions, please do not hesitate to contact me. For more information about the Durham Divas, please visit our website at www.freewebs.com/durhamdivas.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks,

Sarah Clayton
