Port Old Pirates - Golden Oldies

The Port Adelaide Rugby Club plays in the Golden Oldies tournament sponsored by Air New Zealand. Our team is the Port Old Pirates or POPS.

The tournament is for over 35's and competes in both the Air New Zealand Golden Oldies Rugby Tournaments and local and visiting teams. This mission statement of the Golden Oldies movement is to prompt rugby through Fun, Friendship and Faternity.

Our side POPS has been to several tournaments;

• 1999 Adelaide Australia
• 2001 Toulouse France
• 2003 Brisbane Australia
• 2006 Wellington New Zealand

The next festival is in Edinburgh in 2008.

Anyone interested in going to Edinburgh, please contact the club or Alex Jamieson.
