🏁FINAL RESULTS🏁

Unfortunately that’s a wrap on the season for our BH Landscapes & Design All Green Environmental Solutions & Dare Constructions Presidents Cup Side in 2024. The boys fought hard and were full of passion in Saturday’s Final but were defeated by Terrigal Rugby Union Club 27-12 in the end.

Terrigal jumped to a match breaking lead through two quick tries back to back before leading 17-0 at half time. The Wanderers worked hard in the 2nd half and scored 12 points to 10 but it wasn’t enough. Terrigal go on to vs The Lakes Rugby Club in the Grand Final on Saturday and its curtains on our season.

We’d like to thank everyone who got behind us, particularly those who volunteered their hours, financially backed us and all the players for pulling the boots on week in week out! We will be back in 2025 combined with our mates down The Hill as Gosford Kariong and we can’t wait to hit the ground running bigger and better than ever!

Join us for Presentation Night on Saturday 7th September from 7pm at Gosford RSL Club. Tickets on sale now.

Looking to the future together! Well said Scotty. Our clubs will be stronger as one and with this change we hope to provide a competitive and enjoyable environment for our local juniors and community! Stay tuned for more updates and details to come as we build into 2025 and beyond.

Yesterday evening a Special General Meeting was held with current GRC Members and Life Members to vote on the motion of "Member decision on the merger of Gosford Rugby Club and Kariong Rugby Club".

The vote was a unanimous YES decision. I have spoken with Kariong President and their member merger decision was also a YES outcome. The decision to merge with Kariong has been in discussion since mid 2023 and this year has seen a turning point where change was needed to ensure the survival of both identities past the 2024 season.

There is a CCRU mandate that all clubs who wish to be in the CCRU competition must field 3 men's and 1 women's team from 2025, along with minimum junior team numbers from 2026.

This year has not been easy for Gosford Rugby Club given a large number of players retiring the past couple of seasons, and new players not coming through so given our ongoing great relationship with Kariong the member and life member decision was a necessary one to be made.

"This is a historic point in Gosford Rugby Club's 50 year history and although there will be much change, history doesn't disappear and both Gosford and Kariong will ensure history and our individual identities remain but as one for the future"

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Cheers Prez
