 Bosch Rugby Supporters’ Club |
| |
| Objective |
The Bosch Rugby Supporters’ Club was founded in late 2002 to assist Rondebosch with the raising of funds for its rugby programme, to support the coaching staff and all the rugby playing pupils at both the Prep and High Schools and to provide Rondebosch parents with opportunities to meet and socialize at casual functions. The Supporters’ Club is for all Rondebosch parents and Old Boys and not only for those with sons who play rugby
Funds are provided for external coaches, bursaries to deserving players, rugby clinics for Prep boys and assisting both schools with the acquisition of training equipment, Rondebosch branded rugby balls, refrees' kit and other rugby requirements. The Club has also donated specialised software to RBHS for the analysing of First XV and other matches.. |
