Celebrating 40 Years of
Playing Rugby
Rocks almost upset Competition Leaders
Shamrocks almost pulled off the upset of the 2009 competition last Saturday, 27 June 2009, with a wonderful display of Rugby against competition leaders Tech Waratahs at Ocean Park, Woonona. The Rocks led the match into injury time only to see their opposition score a last minute converted try to end the match in a 12-12 draw.
