Club & Player Information

Club history & general information

Newport Rugby Club was established in 1963 and has participated in the NSW Suburban Rugby competition since that time. Over the years the Breakers (as they have become known) have won a number of premierships the pinnacle being the 1999 Kentwell Cup. The Breakers' five senior teams currently compete in the 2nd Division competition (Barraclough Cup) and were successful in winning that competition in 2003.

Newport has a strong community based ethos and the majority of our players are resident on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The club has in excess of 250 registered players and officials, and we pride ourselves in the fact that we are one of the most successful clubs in the NSW Suburban competition.

Our home ground is located at Porter Reserve, Burke Street, Newport and we offer players and supporters the benefit of our own club house adjacent to the ground following home games.

The Newport Rugby Club seeks to actively participate in the improvement of the local community, by providing a strong football club for the local youth of the Northern Beaches. We have just completed upgrades to the ground with a complete resurface of Porters Reserve, we now have new lights for training and we are upgrading the clubhouse and the change sheds to ensure the local players have the best facilities.

Training

Training is held at Porters Reserve every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6.30pm.

Registration fees

The 2010 player rego fees have been set. All players who do not qualify for Colts (i.e. those who are not 21 years or under in 2009) will be required to pay $200 for the season. All players will receive a training shirt upon registration with the club, although club socks and shorts will not be included in this price (these can be purchased separately from the club).

Anyone eligible to play Colts in 2010 will be required to pay $100 for the season. Again, all Colts will receive their training shirt upon registration, although club socks and shorts must be purchased separately.

Club song

Sung to the tune of "The Road to Gundegai"
Written by Cameron Creaves, Newport Junior Rugby Club

There's a track winding back
Past an oval to a shack,
Down at Newport, New South Wales!

Where the Rugby is brighter,
The forwards are tighter
And the backs are hard as nails!

By the wide ocean rolling to hearty refrain,
See those blue waves breaking again and again.

For no more shall I roam
Now that I've found my Rugby home,
Down at Newport, New South Wales!
