About the Katherine
Krocs Golden Oldies Rugby Club
in Katherine Northern Territory Australia
Katherine Krocs Golden Oldies Rugby Union Club was formed in the early
1990s by a few aging members of the Katherine Rucking Roos with the
help of many ex-pat Kiwi players.
Our first few games were against the well drilled Darwin Stubbies, who
travelled over 300km to play.
1992 - Green and gold hoops, were our
official Set of Strip colours for the Krocs (bumble-bees, jail-birds
etc). Our first official Golden Oldies Festival as a club was
Christchurch 1995. (Welcomed the Horny Derelicts from Dannivirke NZ
enjoyed a great game and night of entertainment after the tour).
2002 KEG-OFF (Katherine Eccentric Golden Oldies Football
Festival)
held in Katherine to raise funds for Junior Rugby teams, Katherine,
Darwin Stubbies, Casuarina Stray Cats attended Jabiru and Gove.
2003 Celebrated our 10th Anniversary for the Club.
