By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby What a beautiful day for rugby. What a great setting for our final home game of the 2016 season. What a challenge to turn the tide on our disappointing round 1 results against the much younger step sister – Balmain. With only 4 remaining matches of the regular season, […]

By Adam Daff, Secretary “Reds, our black arm bands today are for a great volunteer – Lee Poole – who was with us for over 35 years, so hands in and lets have ‘Lee on 3’; 1… 2 … 3, Lee.” And so an emotional day of Dirty Red rugby began for players, volunteers and […]

By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby The Dirty Reds grades headed to the “Club-Strong” Colleagues grounds for the wet-weather make-up round with all grades times being shuffled to accommodate the Wallabies vs England international. The day started as a struggle as 4th Grade was light-on players, resulting in a 25-5 Loss against the Judd Cup’s […]

Club Update By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby With a winter chill and some light rain to begin the day, it was easy to remind yourself that rugby is a winter sport, and a nice surprise to see the grounds remained open. An agreed later start time with Mosman showed dividends as our day began […]

By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby There is a lot to consider when stepping into the sights of the Balmain rugby club and for players the first general area of concern is to check the Balmain pitch has grass on it. Thankfully, there was plenty of grass this year! Our 4s put together a grinding […]

By Adam Daff, Secretary Firstly, a big thanks to the efforts of our volunteers so far this season. Having two canteens running as well as scoreboard updates, strapping, an assistant-referee for every match and of course ground set-up at home games requires effort from a bigger group of people than many might realise. We are […]

By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby Looking at the table results throughout the grades, it was easy to see the Shammies have had a solid build into this season and have better numbers available compared to the previous 3 seasons. The day began tough for our lower grades – our shortage of players meant some […]

By Dan Henderson, Director of Rugby Back on home soil with a point to prove, the player focus and preparation over the last two weeks had been a good step-up, we just needed to see it transfer to the pitch. The day began with a struggle as 4th Grade numbers were very poor meaning most […]
