Hi Aussie D Thanks for showing an interest. Always love to get comments, corrections or criticisms. Good to get it right. It was for season 1995 that Western Suburbs changed their name to West Harbour Pirates. The Rugby Union had kicked out Drummoyne and added Canberra, Newcastle and Penrith...

Thank you Quick Hands. As you suggested I approached Hugh Jarse and he has undertaken to get a lot of my ramblings on "who won what" and "list of clubs" up onto GAGR given my lack of expertise with these new fangled computers and websites. I still think they are a passing fad. So as we await...

Brian have to tell you you made laugh with your comment!:D Obviously being new haven't got into the swing of acting then thinking.

THank you sir. Will do so once I get my thoughts together.

My pleasure. enjoy sharing this stuff. The more people that know this the better. All those years ago you asked for club colours. Are you still interested? may be able to help with some. Old Balmain before 1900 was blue & white strips and red cap! Have potted history of all the clubs in...

Thanks coach, have read the site. Randwick is definitely one of the clubs that needs an officially published book. If I get the chance to post my article on the early premiers there is a nice story of the rivalry between Randwick and Wallaroos in the 1890s.

Thank you BW. Am a little bit overly "interested" in rugby history (ask the wife). What I would like to do is to post all my info on sydney club premiers in all grades since 1874. As a newbie and very old fart am still trying to get the hang of how and where to do this. Need help. Any takers?

No. it's on my wish list. Last I looked you could get it from a local (Manly) newsagent. Don't think you could get it from the club. Could be wrong. But as a south of the harbour resident I don't cross the bridge too often :). Sadly there are not to many books on Sydney clubs. To my...

And to finish off for the night. The long gone third division. SYDNEY RUGBY UNION THIRD DIVISION CLUBS 1979-1986 1979 Blacktown-Seven Hills, Dundas Valley, The Forest, Hawkesbury Agricultural College, Kellyville Postal Institute, Liverpool, Mosman, Teachers-South Sydney 1980...

Now that you have encouraged me. Here are the second division clubs. I was a fan of the old second division and feel that it should be remembered. Sydney "Second Division" existed under a number of names between 1962-1992. 31 years! NSWRU Second Division 1962 Hawkesbury Agricultural...

Thank you QH it's always good to find others interested in this stuff. I also have all the 2nd and third division teams. Not a lot of people are that interested. Have always wanted to find a home for my "interest". Also have premiers all grades going back to 1874.

One of my interests has been Sydney club rugby and I have compiled a list of clubs involved. Until 1885, it is not that simple to distinguish between "senior" (ie first grade) clubs and "junior" (2nd tier) clubs. Following is some of the info I have. I do have more going back to 1865. IN...
