Brothers Rugby Union Club - Mackay

Brothers Rugby Union Mackay was hastilly formed in 1978 with a borrowed set of rugby league jerseys and hot chicken raffels in the public bar at the then Wilkinsons Hotel. The club then entered a fledgling Mackay Rugby Union competition which would then later be expanded to the Mackay and District Rugby Union (MDRU) with the inclusion of Proserpine and some Coal Mining teams from the hinterland.

Brothers Mackay celebrated its 25th Aniversary in 2003 with a lavish and well presented dinner at the Mackay Entertainment Centre. They also boasted the only sucessfulll locally organised playing and sightseeing European and British Isles Tour in October 1984.

It is hoped that a better presentation of the European Tour and The 25th Anniversary Celebrations will be added to this site at a later date. As will be more tall and not so tall stories from Brother's colorfull past,so stay tuned!
