Unfortunately Daniel was injured in this game.

CBOB’s seek some additional help in the 1958 Reserve Grade Grand Final Vs R.A.N.A.T.E. (Navy, Schofields)

After the match, even though they won the match, the Navy Officials protested. The members of the CBOB committee along with the coach Brian McElvogue had the unenviable task of explaining this at the next G.N.D.J.R.U. meeting.

Brothers Rugby Club Sydney (formerly CBOBs) aims to provide a competitive rugby environment in conjunction with an active social programme for all its playing and non-playing members.

Brothers Rugby Club Sydney was formed by Old Boys of St Pius X College Chatswood in 1947 and was at that time known as Christian Brothers Old Boys or CBOB’s. In 2005, it was decided to change our name from CBOB’s to the very familiar “Brothers” Rugby Club Sydney. Brothers being one of the most well known rugby brands in Australia. We will be fielding 4 senior grades and an U21’s colts team in 2013 in Second Division of the NSW Suburban Rugby Union Competition. In 2012 we won the first grade Grand Final, and narrowly lost Grand Finals in Second Grade and Colts. All this while winning the Club Championship and promotion to Division 2 of Subbies.

In the 2011 season, we won both first and second grade grand finals and the Division 4 club championship.

Brothers has a long and proud history in the Sydney suburban competition with a long list of premierships won over the years. This is testament to the strength of the club, from its formative years, through to the modern era. Brothers are affiliated to the 5 Brothers clubs in Queensland including Brothers Brisbane and also Brothers Joondalup in Western Australia. Brothers are also affiliated to the Marist Rugby Federation in New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji and Samoa, numbering approximately 40 clubs in all. Brothers are and always have been a social rugby club, with an emphasis on enjoyment through participation. There is a grade of rugby for players of all levels of skill, ability, fitness and girth. We play competitively, but ensure that we enjoy our time representing Brothers. Players of any ability are welcome at Brothers, as it is a great place to continue your rugby enjoyment. Brothers will show you the best sporting and social experience of your life. We train on a Tuesday and Thursday night through the rugby season from 7pm. We are based at Roseville Chase Oval. If you would like to come and play please feel free to turn up and say hello. Or just drop us a note at play@brothersrugby.com.au
