Goulburn continues to secure high quality tournaments

Upgrades to existing sporting facilities and the addition of new infrastructure has contributed to strengthening Goulburn’s reputation as a premiere sporting destination and the securing of a range of high quality tournaments for the spring/summer season.

The Goulburn Rugby Club – the first country rugby club to be founded in Australia – will celebrate its 150th anniversary on Saturday 22nd October 2022 at Rugby Park, Goulburn. The celebrations will feature four matches, including an under 12 Fizzy Reds match, Women’s match, Golden Oldies match and Men’s President’s XV vs Invitational XV match.

The day will also feature the official naming of several areas at Rugby Park and a photo session capturing various people present on the day. The celebrations will culminate with the Goulburn Rugby 150th Anniversary Ball at Veolia Arena later that evening.

On the following weekend (29th -30th October 2022) Table Tennis Goulburn will host the 2022 Southern Country Teams Championship at the John Lees Table Tennis Centre.

Teams from across Southern NSW and the ACT will compete over the two days in a round robin, multidivisional tournament, with semi-finals and finals to be played on the Sunday afternoon.

On the same weekend, the Hockey NSW Indoor State Championships will begin with the Open Men’s Division at the Goulburn Recreation Area. The Championships will continue into the following months with the Open Women’s Division occurring from 4th – 6th November and Under 18 Boys and Girls Divisions taking place from 2nd – 4th and 9th – 11th December, respectively.

Goulburn Mulwaree Mayor Peter Walker advised “Goulburn has a strong history of sporting greatness and it’s excellent to see so many high profile sports organisations choosing Goulburn to host their events.

“With the upgrades to existing sporting facilities and the addition of new infrastructure, along with Goulburn’s central location and welcoming hospitality, it’s easy to see why more and more sporting organisations are choosing Goulburn.
