ABOUT THIS CLUB
Wauchope Thunder Rugby Club was founded in 2014. Rugby in Wauchope was played in the late 1800's and continued right up to the development of rugby league in the early 1900's.
In 2015 the Men's team played in its first season in the Lower Mid North Coast Competition. We also fielded junior teams which played in the Port Macquarie Juniors Competition. These teams included 8's, 10's, 12's and 14's.
Wauchope Thunder was the first club to introduce Women's Rugby back to the Hastings area with many clubs now following in its footsteps. Since its introduction the ladies team has already tasted success with winning the "Lid" final at the Crescent Head 7's in 2015 and in 2017 Runners Up in the First Ladies Competition.
Moving forward in 2016 we moved to the Mid North Coast competition. We fielded a First Grade team and a Reserve Grade team. This was a massive achievement for such a newly formed club.
