Clermont Bears Old Boys Club

Very proud of our Bears who put in a massive effort this season. And while it might not be the end to the season they were hoping for, it’s most certainly a building block to build on to next season. Enjoy your off season men, and see you all back at Bear Park next year!

The 2025 season has come to an end for the Titan Ind Clermont Bears, and what a journey it’s been!

Although we didn’t finish where we hoped on the ladder, this year was about much more than just results. With many new and younger players stepping up, we’ve grown stronger as a team and as a family. Every training session, every game, every moment has helped us build something special — a club full of passion, resilience, and pride.

We want to send a huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, families, and supporters. Your unwavering support, whether it’s cheering from the sidelines, lending a hand behind the scenes, or standing by us in every way — means everything to us. You are the heart and soul of this club 💚🐻

We’ll be back next year, stronger, hungrier, and ready to rip in!

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited and determined to come back bigger and better than ever. Together, we’ll keep growing, learning, and chasing our goals.

Keep an eye out for the announcement of our AGM date — we’d love to see as many of you there as possible as we start planning the next chapter of the Bears journey 💚💛🐾

Best of luck to our brothers from Barcaldine Sandgoannas who are hosting their Grand Final this Saturday night! We’ve seen our Bears and Sandgoannas help each other out over the past few seasons and they are a top group of men! First home GF since ‘09! Go get ‘em Barcy!

🏉 The 2025 Wellshot Hotel Central West Rugby League grand final is nearly upon us, right here in Barcaldine for the first time since 2009!

G’day friends just a quick update on our mate Olzy now that we’ve caught our breathe (literally because, well, fireball 🥵😜) post old boys round. As many of you would have seen Olzy was able to join us at the Old Boys round. The surgery on his ear and face was successful and he was able to return home to recover before heading off to commence 6 weeks of radiation therapy which he is starting in Rockhampton today. To say he has a lot ahead of him is probably an understatement but we know firsthand the difference the support around him has and will continue to make. Though Olzy is never renowned for being quiet or lost for words 😜 this experience and the overwhelming support and love he’s recieved has literally left him lost for words that accurately articulate how grateful he is. But he has asked us to pass on this update and his sincere and genuine thanks to everyone who supported the fundraising and events over the past few weeks. Rallying around him and all of our old boys alike will always be the priority of this club and knowing that during some of the tough days ahead of him he has this club and his beloved Bears and Clermont community around him is worth more than anything else. Our Bears are rugged, tough and bold and we know that these qualities and the support crew that are in his corner will get Olzy through the days ahead of him.

Doonez Hair Studio threw her support wholeheartedly behind our fundraising for Darren and donated all the proceeds from men’s haircuts in her salon over the past couple of months to supporting getting him back to his best. Doone & Dyl are great supporters of the Bears and Old Boys and we can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done 🐻💛💚

Well Clermont, you did it again didn't ya! Last night saw our Annual Old Boys Round kick off with some barefoot bowls and some epic reminiscing (and a lot of banter) over beers and a bbq. We raised a fireball toast to Olzy and to old bears being friends for life and then all scooted up to the fields to cheer on the future of the club in our Under 17 Bears. If the show those young men put on in front of a vocal and supportive crowd of Old Boys was a preview of what is to come our club certainly has a lot to look forward to! Our Big Bears ran out soon after and gave our crowd lots to cheer about especially with a hefty pay packet riding on the first try scorer! Bradley Gela was first to cross and cemented himself as the favourite nephew to Glen Bob for quite some time to come! Though our Bears didn't get the win, our old boys all agreed wholeheartedly with their coach Liam that these very young men are only continuing to improve and galvanise as a team every week. We were especially proud to see amongst the team the names of son's of our old boys reminding us that the legacy of the Bears continues and validating the importance of ensuring our Old Boys Club continues to grow and support our next generation of Bears. At half time we scrambled to draw the Mega multi draw raffle...because it was, well, ENORMOUS! Thankyou will never feel enough but of course we extend our deepest gratitude to the many many businesses and people who donated toward this and congratulations to all the winners! To wrap the evening up we drew the money board and launched into the auction and if we thought the Old Boys were vocal cheering on the roof well they all found their voices (and wallets) during the auction! It's a humbling thing to witness a community like Clermont rally around one of their own and without a doubt last night we saw that generosity in full force but more importantly, we saw unwavering love and support. Olzy & his family got much more than financial support last night - they got an entire room full of people showing them that this walk ahead of them is one they won't be facing alone. A huge thankyou to Justin & Emma Goodman from Belyando Workwear who took on this venture alongside our Old Boys club and helped every step of the way. You guys are invaluable supports to this community and to our Bears. And a very special thanks to Jake Passfield who could draw blood from a stone and ensured our auction was a huge success! You are a great supporter of our Bears and we are grateful for your support! Lastly to our Old Boys, thankyou for turning up for each other and giving this club purpose. We launched last year in the face of tragedy wanting to ensure that long after the boots are hung up we are able to come together and unite as a team and last night proved that this sentiment still rings true. We're rugged, tough and bold and that is something that never changes.

****BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE ASAP****

Ladies & Gentlemen here is the round up of events for our upcoming Old Boys Round. Believe me when I say this round of footy is going to be one you absolutely DO NOT want to miss. While we know our Bears will deliver a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ performance on the field, it’s post game that we are hoping our green and gold community will gather in force to celebrate our Old Boys and in particular to dig deep to support our great mate Olzy. We’ve made it no secret how passionately we feel about standing by our old boys and in the past week we have seen overwhelmingly how much our community share that sentiment and as a result we have pulled together a Mega Raffle & Auction that we cannot wait to unveil.

*BAREFOOT BOWLS IS OPEN TO ALL OLD BOYS** Tickets can be booked via this link -
