REUNION

FIRST EVER REUNION WAS HELD AT ALBERTON RUGBY CLUB ON 15-07-2023

Alberton rugby club is current 112 years old. The committee and Joe Steyn started working on this event for about 6 weeks. A group of 170 members who played for Alberton and coaches who coached Alberton and  previous committee members were invited to this special occasion.  Plus minus 90 members attended the event that was held in the restaurant at Alberton rugby club.  Two Legends who played for  Transvaal  in the 70s and 80s Corrie Peypers and Hammer Engelbrecht were called to the stage to make speeches and talked about old rugby stories. This was a very emotional moment. A huge thank you is going out to Stefan Fourie and his wife Cally from the restaurant who prepared this special meal for the quests. Corrie Peypers and Roelof Berg were special quests in the 1st side change room where they handed out the rugby jerseys for the players. Before the start of the 1st side match against Raiders rugby club all our yesterdays years legends were called onto the field and were introduced to the spectators and they formed a tunnel for the rugby players to run onto the field. A special song was played to the legends and partners. The song was YESTERDAYS HERO. Emotional   it was indeed a day to be remembered.  Special  coffee mugs were handed out to the quests in remembrance of their old club.
