All Players, partners and friends are invited. There is no entry cost, finger food is provided, just buy your own drinks. And of course the traditional raffle will be held.  

We want to see as many of you as possible, catch up with older players and mates from bygone years.  If you know of any ex-players, do ask them to join.

For those attending their first event, make sure you get your BOBS card. 

The crowd is increasing with a number of interstate and long-distance NSW guys attending.

Women’s Masters. The only ‘Club’ in NSW.

13 April 2023 - Vale Cecil ‘Cec’ Quilkey

Cec played 328 games for Balmain between 1952 and 1973, not missing a single match in his first 200.

A slightly built rover, he amassed over 600 goals during his playing career, won best and fairest 4 times, captained for 3 seasons and captain-coached in his final year.

He was the club’s leading goal kicker 8 times, represented Sydney once and NSW twice. He was runner up in the prestigious Phelan Medal on 4 occasions.

We pass on our deepest respects and our thoughts are with his friends and family at this sad time.
