Brothers Toowoomba Senior Rugby League Inc Brothers Toowoomba Senior Rugby League Club Inc Official page Home to the Mighty Leprechaun Club History Brothers was first formed in 1919.

Brothers Toowoomba RLFC are an inclusive, family friendly, community minded rugby league club located at Glenholme Park in Toowoomba Qld. Established in 1919, Brothers Toowoomba RLFC is run solely by a dedicated team of volunteers. Currently fielding sides in the local TRL completion from U19, Reserve and A Grade along with Open Women’s Team. In the late 1930's a dispute arose over the name of "Br

others" as, at the time the Catholic Bishop Basil Roper objected as he did not want the name "Brothers" or St Mary's College been associated with non-Catholic members who may have been playing with the club. In 1939 most of the members joined a team know as Charlton for a short time but, not long failed due to financial difficulties and was disbanded in 1941. Rev Dean Michael of Holy Name had a rugby union team "YCW" playing in the local rugby union competition. During the war years Rugby union went into recession so Rev Michael decided to enter the team into the local Rugby League competition. He became President and Jack McGaw became Secretary. Between them they set out forming the new All Whites Rugby League Club. In its first year in 1942, All Whites were runners up in the Premierships to be defeated by Valleys 13 points to 6. In that game Frank Brennan was the only point’s scorer. In 1943 All Whites won its first Premiership, (they went on to win 13 premierships in the next the next 20 years) In the late 50’s rugby league was running strong in Toowoomba that all four clubs, Valleys, Newtown, Souths and All Whites had reserve grade sides equaled their top grade sides. Each Sunday these 4 teams would play double headers at the Athletic Oval with crowds far exceeded today’s attendance. Why ALL WHITES? For those that can remember, it was in the middle of the war years and supplies of any description were hard to get. The only jerseys at time were WHITE so, there lay the simple answer. The jerseys were white with a black V, white shorts. The club reverted back to Brothers some 50 years later largely because of insurances and incorporation requirements. We have turned back the clock 60 years and returned to Brothers Toowoomba RLFC as of 2005. In the late 50’s rugby league was running strong in Toowoomba that all four clubs, Valleys, Newtown, Souths and All Whites had reserve grade sides equaled their top grade sides. The Glenholme park clubhouse was officially opened in 1977. All Whites Rugby League Club, turning back the clock in 2005 reverting back to Brothers Toowoomba and, keeping up with the Brothers tradition changed back to the “butcher stripe” the stripe well recognised throughout the Brothers fraternity.

🔵⚪️ 📣 Since being sidelined with injury, our Reserve Grade Captain Dan Rub has still been there every step of the way.

Through every hit-up.
Through every tackle.
Through every try.
Through every scrum.

He might not be able to take the field, but he’s been right there with his boys, supporting them every step of the journey.

That’s leadership. That’s our Captain.

St Mary's from Toowoomba won the 1995 Confraternity Shield with a 32-28 victory over St Brendan's. St Mary's led 8-0 before St Brendan's hit back to lead 12-10 at half-time and 28-20 with 20 minutes on the clock. The boys from Toowoomba scored two late tries through Shane Wilson and, finally, Ben Forde, who won the Player of the Final. It's all on page 54 of our 'History of the Confraternity Shield'.
