The Grande Olde Boares (GOBs will do) have a proud history since forming and playing their first games in 1991. We have allowed guest players to join for a game including Gordon Bray, David Campese and Owen Finnigan. The old saying "the older I get, the better I was" isn't far from the truth.
Golden Oldies Rugby is played in a safe and friendly attitude. Coloured shorts identify those who should be treated respectfully: black shorts, over-35; red shorts, over-50; gold shorts, over-60; purple shorts, over-70: do not touch, tackle, push or run. No rucking in tackles, no pushing in scrums and a player must pass after 20m.
Most of the original GOBs have continued to take the field to date, changing short colours on the way. A good opportunity welcomes anyone keen to this group to compete in the annual Tathra Crabs Carnival, October 22. Queries: 0409 470 295.
