MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT - FEB 2021

TO OUR PLAYERS AND MEMBERS

2020 was a challenging year and our thoughts are with those who lost loved ones during the pandemic that dominated last year. We look optimistically towards a better 2021 and to welcoming players and supporters to the club once more.

As some of the Senior players have noted, they’re into their third or fourth preseason in a row, so if you’re interested in playing get along to Anderson park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30pm.

For Juniors, following on from the very successful Spring Touch 7s last year, there is Summer Touch 7s on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30pm - 6:30pm also at Anderson Park.

For Supporters please get in behind your club and join our Kiwi Hawthorn Supporters Club, plus keep your diaries free on Saturday 20th March when we will be playing against Moorabbin for the Jack McDavitt Cup.

Finally, we’re always on the lookout for volunteers in any shape of form (you don’t need to be part of the committee, there are plenty of other ways we can use your help), so please reach out to us.

Thanks, Mark Russell
Club President Kiwi Hawthorn Rugby Club

CLUB HISTORY

Kiwi Hawthorn Rugby Union Football Club is a proud celebration of both the competition and partnership that has long existed between Australia and New Zealand, forged from these two great powerhouses in world rugby when the Kiwi Club and Hawthorn Rugby Club united in 1987.

The Kiwi Club, founded in 1923 by New Zealand Servicemen in Melbourne joined forces with Hawthorn Rugby Club, previously Old Scotch Boys founded in the 1930’s by alumni from Scotch College.
