Tomorrow we celebrate Old Boys Day and remember this wonderful human

Well the year has absolutely flown by as we roll into the last game of the regular season which lucky for us, happens to be a home game and not just any home day as it’s OLD BOYS DAY !!!
This is a special celebratory occasion as it marks 25 years since the OG Old Boys won the premiership back in 2001💛💙❤️

We thank our sponsors for getting our senior men a flashy new jersey to wear this weekend when they take on Brothers, kicking off at 3:40pm playing for the Bill Muller Cup.

Our dashing models show the generations of “Old Boys” passing through the club with original Old Boy CJ on one end with our clubs rising star and recent QLD Country selected Troy Waike on the other. Of course it isn’t Old Boys Day without “Dawn of the Dinosaurs Dave” who is the prime example of what this club is all about; dedication, resilience and mate ship 🦀
Jerseys will be auctioned off after the game so be sure to be there to grab a piece of our clubs history.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Sports Reserve to support our club but if not we’ll see you at Flynn’s when we see if these Old Boys still can drop it like it’s hot. There will be heaps of popping and locking (from muscles, bones and joints) ‼️

What makes a Rugby Club successful are its traditions, its history and its culture. 🏈🙌🏻

North Ward Rugby Club are developing new traditions each year and are nurturing our Juniors through their ranks so they can step into Seniors with a strong sense of our values and our pride in the red, blue and gold.
We want our Juniors to know the men and women who made us who we are, the characters that remain with the Club years after they have tied on their boots for the last time, those responsible for the culture, the family and the backbone of North Ward Rugby Club.

Tomorrow’s Seniors games at Casalegno Field against Burdekin Rugby Union Canetoads have great sentimental value to our Old Boys as 2nd Grade play for the Joseph Acton Memorial Shield.

To remember Joseph and his lasting legacy the Burdekin and NWRC play for the Joseph Acton Memorial Shield in reserve grade each year. Since 2012, the shield has been fought for in the Burdekin as an away trip for all who knew Joseph. Each year the match is always played in the spirit of how Joey played the game - tough, physical, with plenty of grit and always with a few laughs here and there.

"Joey was invaluable to the team, he was the guy that every club needed, who was committed to every session, every game, every week and if needed he would play every grade. He was the heart of the club, on the club committee, the social convener and was just good mates with everyone"

Good luck to our traveling Seniors tomorrow, let’s bring Joey’s shield home to North Ward loud and proud in 2026!💪🏻❤️💙💛

TEAM LISTS 🦀🐸

Second Grade and Women make the trip out the Burdekin for their Round 13 clash against the toads while First Grade has the bye.

This round is a huge part of both clubs history as Second Grade plays for the Joe Acton Memorial Shield, a game to reflect on Joe and his contribution to both teams. It’s the best game of the year for these two teams.

Guinness pie at the Allen definitely a good option.
Thanks Mick Horton,
Rohan and Cy , great way to spend a few hours with good mates and raising some $ for the club
