CENTENARY STORIES

Knox Rugby: Historic win for centenary game

The 2024 1st XV enjoyed a 31-10 win over Cranbrook at our special centenary rugby game played on Knox 1 in commemorative black and blue jerseys.

It was a nod to the very first game of rugby played by a Knox team back in 1924, also against Cranbrook.

In an interesting turn of fate, the final score at that game was 31-0 and Knox's team of 18 boys aged nine to 13 years proved victorious.

Some of the relatives of those first boys were in attendance at the centenary match.
