Latest News
Latest information from HHRUFC
Vale Allan Southcombe
Seagull
It is with a heavy heart that HHRUFC advises of the passing of Club Legend Allan Southcombe.
Southy took on many roles at the club, and was always ready to step in to help when needed or when things got tough.
Allan’s playing career spanned from 1961 to 1988, starting in the U10’s and involved multiple premierships as a player, a captain coach and a coach. During this time Allan also received the honours of Clubman of the Year and Club Best and Fairest, as well as his Honour Cap and Life Membership.
Off the field, Allan has been Seniors President (1986-89, 2004), Vice President (1985), Club Treasurer (2009-2012) and Seniors Treasurer (1978-80, 2018), Club Coach, Director of Coaching, First Grade Coach as well as coaching various other grades
Allan’s contribution cannot be measured in stat’s alone, and he will be sorely missed by the whole club.
Club Captains Election Results
Seagull
With a delay worthy of the AEC it brings us great pleasure to announce that on a historic night in March, Hunters Hill Rugby has elected two Club Captains for the first time.
Ben Chaplin returns as the Senior Men’s Club Captain for 2019, continuing on from this role in 2018 and his 2017 Vice-Chairmanship. Ben’s role this year means that he will have help an executive position at Hunters Hill Rugby, for half his playing career, not bad for a bloke that joined as a colt.
Bella Hogan has been elected as inaugural Senior Women’s Club Captain. Bella is a founding member of Hunters Hill Women’s Rugby Union Football Club, and is also a 2019 committee member.

Recruitment Rewards
Seagull
In 2017 we saw the power that a few players recruiting their mates could make to the club, with the GF success of 3's and the strong showing from all other grades due to this. There's actually too many players to name.
So in 2018, the Senior Men's Sub-Committee would like to reward those who put in the effort to get their mates along to play with Hillies with a $150 Bayview Voucher.
All you need to do is:
Bring two new players to the club who pay their full fees by Round 4.
& Pay your own full fees by Round 4.
Confirm this with Shieldsy and Seagull.
We'll then shout you the voucher as well as make special mention of you in our Newsletter.
