Cats Corner - Golden Oldies

Who Are We

The Cats are the Over 35s part of Hunters Hill Rugby and have been part of the club for nearly 30 years. They have an extended list of around 200 active and non active members from all around Australia and overseas.

While most Cats are ex Seniors players, there are plenty who have never pulled on a black and white jumper and a few who have never actually played a game of rugby.

The level of commitment required to be a Cat could best be described as "Low" with a "No Pressure" policy on playing.

Each season the Cats commit to two Golden Oldies tournaments, Eastwood Charcoals in June and Lovedale in July. Other games are played when a challenge is made by other clubs.

Next year the club is planning to have more regular games, probably once a month, and have entered the Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival 2010 to be held in Sydney in Sept/Oct.

The Cats have an extensive social calendar, which includes tours, miscellaneous non-rugby sporting events and a range of get-togethers.

It's not all about rugby and having fun, though. The Cats are also involved in fundraising for Giant Steps. Giant Steps is a locally based charity that helps to educate children and families experiencing autism. In a reverse sponsorship deal, the Cats display the Giant Steps logo on their jerseys and excess Cats funds and any other fundraising is donated to the charity.

Anyone over 35 is welcome to become a Cat.
