Recycle Reuse Rugby Gear 


Players and parents, if you have any old or outgrown rugby gear at home, we encourage you to give it a second life through our club recycling initiative. Donated items will help support new and younger players in our community, so nothing goes to waste. Please place clean, gently used gear in the Gilbert black bin located in the clubroom foyer, which will serve as the drop‑off point. Thank you for helping us look after each other and the environment.

Dewar Shield Fixtures - Part One 

Save the dates as our Senior grades gear up for 14 rounds of Dewar Shield action.
The remaining fixtures will be released after Round 9.

Why not come down and support the Rams as they charge through the season.
