Text from The Gazette: "In July [1976], University Rugby Club celebrated its first 21 years at a dinner in Edwards Hall attended by more than 200 guests.  The actual anniversary was I975, but the celebration was deferred until the Club completed an official history.   Copies of the book were presented to guests at the dinner."

"Above. The Vice-Chancellor made a presentation to Mr Brian O'Shea in recognition of his services to the Club as life member, prop, goal-kicker and Captain."
