The Goldies have wrapped up their season in style at their 2026 Presentation Night.
Club Secretary, Steph Corcoran, said the presentation night was the cherry on top of the cake after another incredible season.
“The club had so much to be proud of this year,” she said.
“Seeing our Goldilocks team go from strength to strength despite low numbers and turn up each week ready to play and have a go.
“The girls displayed the true spirit of Boorowa Rugby for the whole season and should be commended on their efforts.
“The Goldies won the club its first ever back-to-back premiership with the boys managing to defeat Harden in a close grand final game.
“The boys showed dedication and determination throughout the season, and we are so proud of what they managed to achieve.
“The club extends its thanks to all our members, sponsors, volunteers and the entire Boorowa community for its support in the 2026 season.”
The Boorowa Rugby Club Presentation Night also saw the David Corcoran Memorial Award (formerly known as the Club Person of the Year Award) presented.
“In March of 2026, Boorowa Rugby lost one of its all-time legends in David Corcoran,” the Club wrote in a post online.
“’Croc’ was the ultimate clubman, serving as Captain/Coach, President, Secretary, Life Member and even sports reporter known as ‘The Black Dot’ throughout his time with the club. Dave was also a deserved recipient of the Club Person of the Year in 2020.
“The Boorowa Rugby Club has now named the Club Person of the Year Award after Dave, which will stand as an honour of the highest order within the club.
“Last night, the David Corcoran Memorial Award was presented by his eldest son Andrew, and awarded to Phoebe McGrath for her tireless work for the club in 2026, through her Ladies Day organisation (raising over $41,000 for the Player Injury Fund and Nathan Stapleton), her management of the canteen throughout the season, and creating fantastic media content that reached far and wide. Congratulations Phoebe, Dave would be so proud of your input to our club this year.
“During ‘Old Boys Day’ earlier in the season, the Goldies had the honour of receiving their playing jerseys from Dave’s son Tim, a dominant centre in his own right and one of BRU’s staunchest supporters. This was a moving and emotional moment for all in the sheds that day and one that drove the boys’ performances throughout 2026.
“With the Men in Gold winning the Premiership in the toughest of contests with Harden on Grand Final Day, there is no doubt that Dave was with the boys, and would have had a smile from ear to ear in the spirit that the contest was played, and the community spirit on show.
“We miss you Croc, the 2026 season was for you.”
Following an action-packed season, the Goldies will take the summer to rest and relax ahead of another cracking season next year.
