Kiama Rugby's 60th Anniversary celebrations have kicked off with a lunch at The Sebel Harbourside.

Over the 60 years, the Club has won 11 first grade premierships and produced six Wallabies - Jim Miller, Brian Weir, Geoff Shaw, Gary Grey, James Grant and Scott Fava - and a Walleroo, Ruan Sims.

The first Kiama Rugby Football Club was established in 1893. After a hiatus during war years, 1961 saw the club re-establish itself in the Illawarra District Rugby, NSW Country, NSW State and the Australian Rugby Union.

On Saturday 19 June, the anniversary will be marked by matches at the Kiama Showground against Shoalhaven, with 2nd grade getting underway at 12.15pm and 1st grade at 2pm. An Old Boys game, featuring the Kiama Blowhards, will be played at noon.

Tickets are still available for the 60th Reunion, being held from 6pm at The Pavillion Kiama. Anyone associated with the Club over the years is invited to come along. Tickets $30 from this link.
