With Ladies Day now just 72 hours away, it’s time to celebrate another Old Soldier reaching a significant milestone. This Saturday, Cam Taylor will run out for his 100th game in blue and white.

Joining Lindfield ahead of the 2021 season after a tip-off from Fargie, Cam quickly became a key part of the club’s success. His time at the club includes back-to-back undefeated Stockdale Premierships in 2022 and 2023, while also earning his First Grade debut and crossing for a memorable try in his first game.

When asked about his favourite Lindfield memory, Cam pointed to the entire 2022 season, culminating in Lindfield’s first Stockdale Premiership and an unforgettable grand final victory at TG Millner.

Congratulations on 100 games, Cam. A tremendous achievement and one the club is proud to celebrate.

Name: Cam Taylor
Games Played: 100
Years Played: 2021 – 2026

Achievements: 2022 & 2023 Undefeated Stockdale Premiership

Reason you came to Lindfield: Was looking for another year of colts around some of my local subbies clubs and got an email from Fargie to come play at Lindfield. Then by the time I finished my first full season at Lindfield in 2022, I was hooked.

Favourite Lindfield Memory: The entire 2022 season. Fresh out of a COVID half season in colts and then going into an undefeated premiership with 2nd Grade to win Lindfield’s first Stockdale. Specifically though, I’ll never forget the 2nd Grade grand final at TG Millner as well as earning my 1st Grade debut and managing to sneak a try on debut.

Congratulations to a rare player. So rare some might say he is 1 of 2.

Cam has been a mainstay of 2nd Grade since 2022 and has been key to the success the side has enjoyed during that time.

As players, we competed for spots in an undefeated team. For most people that creates a rivalry, but for us it created a friendship. In fact, I don’t know a teammate who has played alongside Cam who wouldn’t consider him a good mate.

Since 2022, we’ve been part of the same squad and I’ve watched him grow from a young whipper snapper into one of the leaders of this group. From his first game in Grade through to his 99th, he’s always put the team first. Whether it’s improving his own game, doing the unseen work to support a ball runner, or leading the lineout, Cam’s focus has never been on individual glory but on what he can do for the betterment of the team.

Quite simply, he’s the most coachable player I’ve seen at Lindfield and every coach’s dream clubman.

One moment that always comes to mind was against Newport on Ladies Day in 2022. Newport took a quick tap and looked certain to score, but Cam shot out of the line and levelled the biggest bloke on the field, forcing a knock-on and completely changing the momentum of the game. It’s still one of my favourite moments from that undefeated season. Whether it’s stealing lineouts, making cover tackles or shutting down an opposition attack, Cam has always found a way to keep us in the game.

Cam, you’ve never once stopped answering the call. Through tough losses, injuries, being dropped, being moved up, or whatever challenge has been put in front of you, you’ve always answered the call. Even if we haven’t deserved it.

I can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you on Saturday. 100 games isn’t achieved by talent alone. It takes commitment, toughness, selflessness and showing up week after week. I’d say this bloke has missed only 1 training session in 100 games. Now that’s a record I don’t think anyone else can out their hand up for.

Thank you for making me a better player, a better coach, and for everything you’ve done for this club. The position Lindfield finds itself in today is built on the efforts of people like you. I only hope I get the chance to write another one of these in 100 games’ time.

Ladies Day is now just three days away, and the milestone celebrations continue. This week we celebrate a true Old Soldier, with Ben set to run out for his 200th game in blue and white.

Arriving at Lindfield in 2015 for what was meant to be one final season of Colts alongside a few mates, Ben quickly found a home at the club and never looked back. Over the past 11 seasons, he has been part of some of Lindfield’s most memorable moments, from the famous 2015 Colts Premiership victory.

Ben has also witnessed the growth of the club off the field, including the creation of the Joy Johnson competition, which ultimately allowed him to play at the same club as his now wife.

Congratulations, Ben, on reaching the outstanding milestone of 200 games for the Old Soldiers.

Name: Ben Williams
Years played: 2015-2026
Achievements: 2015 colts premiership

Reason I came to Lindfield: I was playing at Norths and was convinced to come across for another season of colts to play with my mates Jord and Doyle. We won the premiership and I never looked back.

Favourite memory: can’t go past “Chapel in the corner” to win the 2015 colts grand final after the buzzer. Honorable mentions to the hugely successful 2023 season that saw Lindfield back into div 1 and the creation of the Joy Johnson competition off the back of some amazing work from the legacy squad and coaches which led to me being able to play at the same club as my now wife.

200 games for Lindfield Rugby Club for the club Favourite Benny Williams. Many many more if you count his coaching career.

Benny is one of those blokes every club needs. As a player, he is full-hearted, relentless, and will put his hand up wherever he is needed. Across multiple positions and multiple grades, from wearing the white shorts to rolling out with the Breakfast Wallabies in 4th Grade, he has always been willing to do a job for the club.

He also has a genuine knowledge of the game — put simply, dude knows ball. I’ve been lucky enough to see that first hand, most recently coaching alongside him with the Lindfield Legacy, where his understanding of footy, calm approach, and care for the team really stood out.

One of my favourite memories of Benny goes back to around 2019, when a lot of the old guard had either retired or decided to play lower grades. Benny and his mates took it upon themselves to make sure 1st Grade kept chalking up wins. A special day came when the whole club swept UNSW at home, and we made sure the fire was still burning in the clubhouse long into the early hours.

Benny is also one of those rare players who is either never injured, or just very good at pretending he isn’t. Either way, he always finds a way to get on the field and contribute.

In all seriousness, Benny is a fantastic clubman, a great teammate, one of the best coaches to not win a Marty Bear Cup and someone who has given a huge amount to Lindfield Rugby Club. Love ya mate, Hillsy

Vale - Paul Pearman

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former Lindfield Rugby Club Old Soldier, Paul Pearman, who lost his courageous battle with cancer late last week.

Paul was a valued member of our club and part of Lindfield’s Colts Premiership-winning side in 2001. He continued to wear the sky blue and white for several seasons thereafter, earning the respect of teammates and opponents alike as a tough competitor, loyal clubman and great mate.

Our thoughts are with Paul’s family especially his brother Luke, and all who had the privilege of sharing a rugby field, a clubhouse, or a beer with him over the years.

Paul’s service will be held at St Michael’s Church, Lane Cove, this Friday (19/06) at 9:30am. All are welcome to attend the service and afterwards join family and friends in raising a glass to Paul at The Diddy, Lane Cove.

Vale Paul Pearman. Old Soldier, teammate and friend. You will be missed.

đŸ’™đŸ€đŸ©· Ladies Day is only 4 sleeps away! đŸ©·đŸ€đŸ’™
This weekend, we’ll also celebrate a very special milestone the First Lady in our history Gemma “Gem” Gordon runs out for her 100th game in blue, white and pink.

A foundation player of the Lindfield Women’s program, Gem has been a leader from day one, serving as Legacy Vice-Captain, Legacy Captain, Club Captain, Women’s Delegate, and earning the club MVP award in 2021. Since joining the club in 2021, she has played a huge role in building the culture and community that makes Lindfield so special.

Congratulations, Gem, on 100 incredible games. We can’t wait to celebrate you and all the amazing women of Lindfield this Ladies Day!

Name + Club Nickname: Gemma ‘Gem’ Gordon
Games played: 100
Years played: 2021-2026

Achievements: 2021 MVP, 2021 legacy VC, 2022 Legacy VC, 2023 legacy C,Legacy Inaugural Team, 2024 Club Captian, 2026 Women’s Delegate

Reason you came to Lindfield: I wanted to keep playing after high school but none of my friends did, then I found out that the club was starting a women’s team and needed players, plus my dad use to play at the club and made his closest friends so i came to training barley knowing anyone.

Favourite Lindfield memory: I think if I had to pick one thing it would be in the 2nd season of legacy we played a 7’s comp at Boronia park, and almost all the boys came from their game to watch us play, so by the end of the tournament we had a tent over flowing with lindfield players. Compared to the other tents that only had the players. The amount of girls from other clubs who came over to us that tournament to say how happy it made them to have a crowd and that their clubs boys teams would never do that for them is something I have always remember and I think is a clear show of how lindfield have championed this team of women no matter our results. Since then I don’t think I’ve been to a tournament or game where if the boys can be there they are.

A huge congratulations to Gemma on reaching the incredible milestone of 100 games for the club, becoming the first Legacy player to join a long list of Lindfield centurions.

Gemma has been part of the Legacy since its inception, playing a vital role in helping build the foundations of the team. The early years were incredibly challenging, with players learning the game for the first time, while often facing strong and experienced opposition week after week and often on different days and away from the rest of the club. Through it all, Gemma showed remarkable resilience, continually working to improve her skills and develop her understanding of the game.

A natural leader, Gemma has consistently led by example, demonstrating a strong rugby IQ and helping guide those around her both on and off the field. Her commitment to the club extends far beyond match day, having contributed in numerous off-field roles over the years. This dedication and willingness to serve wherever needed have been invaluable to the growth and success of the club.

Reaching 100 games is a testament to Gemma's perseverance, leadership, and unwavering commitment. We thank her for everything she has given to the club and the women’s game in general, and congratulate her on this outstanding achievement. The success of the Legacy squad is built off players like Gemma.

Ben Williams

Gemma, The “Queen G”

What an amazing journey your first 100 games have been, from wins and losses, injuries and triumphant returns and most of all, taking a seat at the table as one of our Tik-tok stars. Your passion for this club, and Legacy team are infectious, and one of the biggest reasons we both came back this year.

The work you put in behind the scenes to ensure the Legacy are running smoothly is a full time job, nobody would fault you for taking a full year while recovering from your injury, but instead you have a surgery and a month later you make a full return to the field taking on Waverley. Brave as hell, compassionate, and always ready with an obscure internet reference that we don’t understand. You are such a well deserved recipient of the 100 games honour, and sharing a space on the 100 Games board is an honour for us.

Ladies Day week is finally upon us, and we have another Old Soldier reaching a special milestone.

This Saturday, “Sweet Erbs” runs out for his 100th game in the blue and white. Since arriving at Lindfield in 2021, Erbs has collected premierships, captained the Colts, earned Clubman of the Year honours, and somehow managed to win Best Looking Redhead six times.

Congratulations, Sweet Erbs, on reaching the century. We look forward to celebrating with you on a massive Ladies Day.

Name: William “Sweet Erbs” Erby
Games played: 100
Years played: 2021-2026

Achievements: 2021 Rookie of the year, 2022 Colts Club Captain, 2022 Robbo Cup Premiership, 2023 “Double Champs” Halligans and Richardson Cup Premiership, 2025 Clubman of the year, 6 time winner of the best looking redhead at Lindfield Rugby Club.

Why I came to Lindfield: After a successful season across town with Chatswood Rugby Club, a mate by the name of Oliver “Mudcrab” Johns got stuck into me about making the move across. After being persuaded over a dozen cold ones, I was easily convinced and soon found a place to call home at Lindfield.

Favourite Memory: There are truly countless memories to choose from. From endless nights celebrating the wins (and the losses), legendary Lindfield long lunches that somehow turn into long evenings, winning premierships, forming lifelong friendships, and even changing careers! But nothing will ever top the week-long celebrations following our premierships in 2022 and 2023, and the grilling I received from my parents and neighbours after somehow ending up with the entire club back at my house for further celebrations.

When Oliver "Mudrab" Johns recruited Erby to the club in 2021, I don't think any of us realised just how quickly he would become such an important part of the team and the club. Within a few training sessions, he had already established himself as a leader and one of the most respected blokes around. I was lucky to coach Erby for the 2022 season. We won the premiership and Erby was a pivotal part in what made that group successful.

On the field, Erby was everything you'd want in a prop. A dominant scrummager, a destructive ball runner, and a bloke who loved the physical side of rugby. The only thing he might love more than a scrum is a schooner or ten. What always impressed me most was his ability to pick himself up after a huge carry or a brutal scrum and somehow still be the first prop in Sydney ready for the next job. Even more remarkably, he was never late to a lineout. Those traits alone separated him from all of the other old-school props running around Subbies.

Off the field is where Erby's larger-than-life personality really shines. He's an icon across Sydney rugby, reflected by the fact he's on a first name basis with some of the Wallabies biggest legends. During my coaching period, he'd also built a reputation as a powerhouse of the swimwear industry and remains, without question, the most iconic swimwear model to ever come out of the Old Soldiers.

A special mention must also go to Erby's selfless act following our glorious 2022 premiership, when he opened up the family home and invited what felt like the entire club back to continue the celebrations. It's moments like that which show why he's so valued around the club.

Mate, I've been incredibly proud to coach you and even prouder to watch the impact you've continued to have since. Congratulations on reaching 100 games and thank you for everything you do as Vice President. The strength of the club's culture, player numbers and retention are a reflection of the work being done behind the scenes by people like you. Congratulations on a well-deserved milestone and here's to plenty more games, scrums and schooners to come.
