Port Macquarie Pirates Rugby Union Club

$ have been secured from the NSW Rugby World Cup Legacy Grant Program and our beloved main field is getting some love: Field drainage! 🫗

The subsurface drainage improvements will deliver massive clear benefits, including:

✅ Reduced wet-weather cancellations and improved reliability for fixtures and training. More rugby and less ''Ahhhh no, not again!"
✅ Increased usable field capacity, supporting junior and senior programming across the season
✅ Improved ability to plan and grow participation, including women and girls and junior development
✅ Improved safety and surface condition, reducing boggy and unsafe areas for contact sport
✅ Better overall rugby experiences for participants, volunteers and spectators.

👏A massive thanks to the Port Macquarie Hastings Council for securing our piece of the pie from the NSW Rugby World Cup Legacy Grant Program.

Now, about that new clubhouse.....🥹

Emily Currey. Since U16s, Emily has been playing abroad in Canada for 2 years for Castaway Wanderers. She’s wrapping things up by playing in the British Colombia Provincial Championship this weekend which is playing at the highest level… just below the Canadians women’s national team. Emily will be returning home at the end of the year and coming back to us! How good!

Massive congratulations to our 3 Men and Women Pirates selected for higher honours to represent NSW Country!

George Schmude, Nosi Kuridrani and Naomi George 👏
