Pine Rivers Pensioners
Growing Old with Rugby
It was shortly after the 1984 London Golden Oldies World Cup that three distinguished gentlemen of the game, Roger Burns, Kev Ward and Dave Mungles, were discussing the results over a few quiet ales and the idea of a club was raised.
The idea grew and grew until 1986 saw the birth of the Pine Rivers Pensioners. The original playing strip was a white jersey with black stripes and the Pensioners were based at Ogg Road in Murrumba Downs.
In 1991 the Pensioners changed their playing strip to a blue and green jersey until 1998 before changing to the blue, green and white strip they wear proudly to this day. The team moved from Murrumba Downs to Bray Park, in 2006, where they share the Pine Rivers Pumas Clubhouse, fields and facilities.
The Team has continued to flourish and play in the true tradition of Golden Oldies Rugby Union; fun, friendship and fraternity. The Pensioners can proudly claim to have had at least one team representative at every World Cup held since the club was formed.
24 years young and going strong!
