Text:  SEASON ENDS WITHOUT A LOSS

"University First Grade Rugby XV were premiers this year, going through the season undefeated.  On September 16 University defeated Mayfield East 25-13 in the grand final at No.1 Sports Ground.  The first grade team's success was a fitting achievement in the Rugby Club's 30th year in the Newcastle competition.  In the top grade, University won the Newcastle competition in 1959, 1961, 1962, 1966 and 1984.   The first grade was undefeated on only one previous occasion, in 1962.  The Coach for this season, Mr. Bruce Wilson, was a member of the 1962 side.  University's Captain and front-row forward, Tom Angus, has said he will retire. He has served the Rugby Club for many years."
