GOLDEN Oldies rugby action returns to Port Macquarie on Saturday, 7 March from 10am.
The tournament will be hosted by Port Macquarie Pirates Rugby Union Club at its Woods Street fields, featuring a full day of spirited games.
Club spokesperson Paul Smith told News Of The Area, “Fourteen teams [have] entered with around 200 players in total including ex-Wallaroos (playing as the Wobblyroos).
“Also debuting will be the ‘Vintage Tawny Ports’ (women’s team) from Port Macquarie.”
Teams registered include the Gloucester Cockeyes, Manning Mongrels, Wobblyroos, Vintage Tawny Ports, Thunderclap, Wrinkled Horns, Cooks Hill, Nelson Bay, Vintage Ports and Waratah Old Boys.
Food and drinks will be available all day at the clubhouse canteen, with spectators encouraged to attend, support the players and enjoy a celebration of rugby, resilience and mateship.
The Port Macquarie Pirates club has been promoting the sport of rugby in the Hastings region since it was founded by a group of enthusiasts in 1974.
Eighteen first grade men’s and women’s premierships later, the Pirates now field teams for all ages and genders, from under-6s through to Golden Oldies.
