On Wenesday the 16th August Yamaha Jubilo, one of the prominent Japanese corporate teams, boasting several former New Zealand and other non- Japanese internationals in its ranks as well as a number of Japan's World Cup prospects, will take on a Force Academy selection.
The Academy team will contain not only some outstanding members of the nascient academy itself, but is expected to also include some of the Force squad players and some of the very exciting emerging club stars who are being considered for inclusion in next year's Force program . The Academy team was selected yesterday but will not be announced until later today.
Of particular concern of course in the local club scene, with the finals to commence this weekend, is the number of top four club players who may be unavailable for the weekend's fixtures because of the Yamaha game. This includes Palmyra's James Stanners, Nems Momo and Jerry Viriki, West- Subiaco's Kiti Fuluna and Greg Plimmer, Nedlands' Haig Sare, Will Brock and possibly Dan Bailey and Associates' Matt Dreyer and Hugh Norcross.
Wednesday's fixture will kick off at 7pm. under lights at Palmyra's picturesque grounds at Tompkins Park Alfred Cove. The Club's Bars will be open and the canteen will be operating. An additional temporary bar will be installed on the grandstand area to accomodate patrons.
The visitor's Entourage,local players visiting Dignitaries and Force and RugbyWA officials will be dined and entertained in Palmyra's function rooms after the game and supporters are invited to stay on aftewards to mingle with the Guests.
Entry to the game is free and there will be ample on reserve parking courtesy of the generous cooperation of the Melville City Council. All Reserve parking will be monitored and controlled by Palmyra staff on the eastern (Dunkley Avenue) side of the club rooms.
All patrons are reminded that it is an offence to bring any liquor onto the grounds. Liqour may be purchased on site and consumed in the designated Licensed Areas. Please avoid unpleasantness and embarrassment to yourselves as police will be monitoring the event.
