By “Nutta” Gudday Cobbers, In line with the theme, it was a good crowd of actual dad’s, wannabe dad’s, unidentified dad’s, some random cowboys, disreputable hombres and all manner of other likely suspects of public-security watch-lists that gathered on Saturday 02 September for the Sydney Subbies Div 1 Grand Finals. While some had earlier starts […]
Club Update
By “Nutta” Grüezi miteinand And then there was one… The Double D banner was officially represented at the newly refurbished Concord Oval on Saturday 26th August for the 2023 Sydney Suburban Rugby, Division One Preliminary Finals by the middle-grade weekend warriors of 2nd and 3rd grades.

2023 Club Update – Prelim Final
By “Nutta” Dia dhaoibh It’s often hard to be objective and to see things clearly when in the midst of the subjective and the maelstrom of passion. And so it is difficult at first passing for many of us to extricate ourselves from the passions of Saturday 19 August 2003 and see it for what […]
2023 Club Update – Semi Final
By “Nutta” Ni Hao Cobbers I find it hard to contain my pride, and my relief, for the club now that the 2023 Sydney Suburban Rugby Union Division 1 regular season has come to its conclusion. Our results and our lack of numbers in recent times have seen us skate the fraught line of relegation […]
2023 Club Update – Round 14
By “Nutta” Konnichiwa Cobbers, After yet another lay-off weekend, the D.Reds approached the penultimate round (Rd13) of the 2023 Division 1 Sydney Suburban rugby competition with much to prove.

2023 Club Update – Round 13
By “Nutta” Como están mis amigos Going to Mosman for a day’s rugby is not ever an easy day out. And the trek up Military Road to Rawson Oval proved no different this year. Besides dodging the usual array of Range Rovers, Audi’s and Parking Rangers, Mosman have been strong since about 2005 and much […]
2023 Club Update – Round 12
By “Nutta” Bonsoir mes amis Well Round 11 of the 2023 Sydney Suburban Division One rugby competition saw the Waverley Waves surge across the city to the inner west of Canada Bay and crash themselves over the rocks of the Drummoyne Dirty Reds. And speaking of rocks, it was surely a day of rocks and […]
2023 Club Update – Round 11
By “Nutta” Hail good fellows and well met be all! I cannot help but feel frustration and fairly discombobulated as I sit here and contemplate a day of mixed results from when Drummoyne did venture over the Gladesville Bridge and met Hunters Hill at Boronia Park on a sunny but blustery day last Saturday 01 […]
2023 Club Update – Round 10
By “Nutta” Well what a day it was. Tolkien must forgive me but “Spears, they were shaken! Shields, they were splintered. A sword-day it was. A Red Day it was, as there the sun set!” And then we sold some Colts. But that’s another story for another day. Welcome to the match reviews of Round […]
2023 Club Update – Round 09
By “Nutta” Gudday Cobbers, Well Saturday 03 June 2023 saw the Scarlet Men of Drummoyne host the Big Blue of the Colleagues from Woollahra at the home of Dirty Red Rugby on the shores of Canada Bay. It has always been a Battle Royale when these clubs meet and it’s fair to say the Saturday […]
