Ni Hao Comrades, Welcome to the match reviews of Rd 5 wherein we did gird our loins and sally forth some 30 minutes to the north to make havoc among the obviously economically challenged at Soldiers Field in leafy Lindfield. And what a day it was, with Colts, 5ths and 4ths making it an unnecessary […]
Club Update
Hola mis amigos, Welcome to the wrap-up of Round 4 2024, wherein we met our friends from over Bondi way, the Waverley Waves, on a cold and blustery day by the shores of Canada Bay. By way of results, it’s best I just call it like it was and say out-loud that we got our […]
2024 Club Update – Round 04
Bonsoir mes amis, Welcome to the wrap-up of Round 3, as we reflect back on the trip to the ever sunny and exuberant Mountains Blue, and prepare to meet the first bye of the season (aka ‘wet weather round’), to then thereafter relaunch ourselves and host perennial competition front-runners Waverley Waves on the shores of […]
2024 Club Update – Round 03
Konnichiwa Cobbers and welcome to the Round 2 review and Round 3 preview for season 2024. The weekend just gone saw the D.Reds pack swags and trek a whole 15 minutes to the north west to then spend 30 minutes trying to find a park in the heartland of leafy Hunters Hill in order to […]

Hale Cobbers & Well Met Welcome to the Round 1 review and Round 2 preview for 2024 and our upcoming foray to Hunters Hill this coming weekend. Early morning rain, and a forecast for plenty more, may have put lesser men in a dour mood for the Festivus of the Boot activities of Saturday 20th […]
2024 Club Update – Round 01
Gudday Cobbers, Over the years, many of you have stood in pre-game huddles while a red-faced lunatic yelled at you about “history… honour…stitches in a jersey”. And in the midst of spittle-dodging, a few of you probably wondered “Just what the hell is he on about?” Well let me paint you a picture… See, I […]
2024 Club Update – Pre-Season
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 […]
2023 Club Update – Grand Final
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 […]
