History

The club was founded in 1928, but had trouble finding its feet over the course of the following thirty-odd years. Only in 1971 did the club become firmly entrenched in the community. Larry Kenny was the first president in the club. A very interesting footnote is that many of the same families involved in 1928 are still actively involved to this day, e.g. the Brownes, the Roches, the Dawsons and the Kennys. Over the past thirty years the club has gone from strength to strength both on and off the field and today stands proudly and firmly established in the greater Rugby family.
