The Goulburn Rugby Club celebrated a sensational season of senior rugby, that included a premiership for the Women’s 10s team, a minor premiership for the 1st grade men and numerous representative selections in Brumbies Country and ACT&NSW Kestrels teams, at the club’s presentation afternoon on Sunday.

Club president Jackosn Reardon thanked all of those who contributed on and off the field on an exceptional year, and welcomed aboard the many players who wore the club’s colours for the first time this year.

Reflecting on the year, Reardon mentioned how the Klem Oval Opening and the Luke McCue Memorial were outstanding events that had already taken place, and drew attention to the Club’s 150th celebrations that get underway in a fortnight. He also gave special praised to first-grade manager Gary Stephens and club strapper Anthony White, who are retiring after 24 years each in those positions and wished them well in their rugby retirement.
