An update from Knox Rugby Club 2025 President, Oscar Alcock (OKG14) 

2025 was another successful season for Knox Rugby Club, with all three teams reaching the finals for the second consecutive year. 

Our Colts led the way once again, winning their competition in outstanding fashion. Congratulations to Coaches Josh Parsonage (OKG21) and Jack Blamey (OKG13), Team Manager and Club Treasurer, Grahame Pratt (OKG77) and Captain Lucas Banfield (OKG22), for steering another exceptional campaign. 

Our 1st and 2nd Grade teams both played fantastic rugby this season, showing great commitment. It was also pleasing to see the fun everyone had, despite the monsoonal rain! 

The Brothers IV Brothers fixture played on 13 September was another season highlight, with players and supporters coming together in the true spirit of Knox Rugby. Thank you to Bryn Robertson (OKG95) and Hamish Bayliss (OKG97) for organising such a memorable day, and we thank the School for allowing us to play on the hallowed turf of Knox 1. 

The season concluded with another great community event: OKGA Touch Football against the School. 

We also took time to pause and reflect this season, as we mourned the loss of Chris Thomas Taylor (OKG07) and Michele Mouatt. Both were much-loved members of our community, and their passing reminded us of the deep bonds connecting everyone in our Club. 

I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made 2025 such a successful and enjoyable year. Thank you to our sponsors and supporters, and all officials: Secretary, Ian Thompson (OKG14), Assistant Secretary, Cameron Cormio (OKG20), Head Coach, Harry Chapman (OKG15), Assistant Coaches, Denis Kelliher and John Rownes, Managers Andy Cooper (OKG74) and Kevin Morris (OKG00), Greg Thompson, Matthew Davis (OKG05) for Marketing, and Assistant Treasurer Lachlan Orth (OKG21). A special mention to the Social Committee for energising every event, continuing our mantra of #bringbackthefun both on and off the field.
