Since 1874<\/strong>
\r\nMudgee Rugby Club<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
Mudgee Rugby Club is one of the oldest rugby clubs in Australia being a foundation member of the Southern Rugby Football Union formed in 1874. Only Goulburn (1872) and Albion Maitland (1873) were formed before Mudgee in Country NSW with Bathurst and Newcastle also being formed in 1874. Goulburn and Mudgee were the only country clubs to attend the inaugural meeting of the SRFU which was held at the Oxford Hotel in Sydney with R. Arnold and G.H. Cox representing Mudgee (Ref. Dr Thomas V. Hickie \u2013 A Sense of Union and They Ran With The Ball). Mudgee was recorded as attending the meetings of the SRFU from 1874 \u2013 1876. The SRFU later became the NSW Rugby Football Union.<\/div><\/header>

OLD & BOLD<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
During the nineties a group of older gentlemen decided they weren\u2019t past lacing up the boots and thus the \u201cOld Muds\u201d were formed. Golden Oldies is an enjoyable but not too competitive way of retired players participating in a great game and having the opportunity to talk about amazing feats on the rugby field that may or may not have happened in the past. The \u201cOld Muds\u201d still appear from time to time in what could only be described as quite a loose arrangement.<\/div><\/header>

Looking forward<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
Mudgee Rugby Club is managed by a committee of dedicated volunteers who love the game and everything it represents. They promote opportunities to develop good friendships and to become skilful players but above all they promote enjoyment of the game and good sportsmanship. Mudgee Rugby Club welcomes anyone who wishes to participate as a player, as a playing official, as a club official or as a supporter.<\/div><\/header>
