21.01.2022 GPS Rugby Club is excited to announce the appointment of Sio Kite as the Head Coach of Colts 1 for 2021! Sio returns to GPS in a head coach role, having last been involved at the club as the Reserve Grade coach in their memorable double-extra-time Grand Final victory in 2019! Before that, he was a member of our 1st Grade side before making the transition into coaching our Reserve Grade side where they won many Grand Finals. He then took up an opportunity to coach 1st Grade at... Norths and did a great job developing their program while he was there. Sio is an articulate communicator who empowers the playing group and gives players a lot of time and respect. Every GPS program he has been apart of, there has been success. Sio and the extended Kite family have been a part of the GPS fabric for a long time, and we are looking forward to having Sio on board again in an official capacity! He will be supported by GPS Old Boy Lewis Torkington after many successful years coaching Wests Reserve Grade. It is great to also have Torko back at the club! Welcome back Sio and Lewis.

13.01.2022 Senior Club Results from Round 6

12.01.2022 This Saturday will see the GPS Rugby Club community get around our own, as 1st Grade will be wearing specially designed jerseys for our annual Charity Round at Yoku Road against Sunnybank. The match takes on more significance with a direct link to one of our players Alex Notting (Pictured with 1st Grade flanker Nick Richards). Notto formed part of GPS victorious reserve grade side that arguably stole the show on Grand Final weekend, as the Gallopers and Brothers went to dou...ble overtime before a last gasp penalty from Tom Christie secured GPS the title. Weeks after he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. After 6 months of chemotherapy and further treatment, he has since been given the all-clear! He was close to a comeback this year, but has decided to stick with his Manager duties of 3rd Grade for 2020... no doubt hell lace the boots up again in 2021! The jerseys worn by the players are being auctioned off to support Lymphoma Australia Pancare Foundation and Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland Inc. Link is in the comments section. Please donate generously to help us raise money and awareness for Hodgkins Lymphoma and Pancreatic Cancer!

02.01.2022 Our Ladies just fall short in an incredible Grand Final. Well done on the season girls, one to be very proud of!

02.01.2022 Vale Jules Jefferis It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Julian Jefferis. The devoted husband of Allie, father of new-born son Percival, and loving son of Peter and Deborah Jefferis and brother of Sam and Anna. Julian commenced his life at GPS Rugby Club as a Jeeps Junior, where his significant height led him straight to the second row, where he remained for his career. Jules went on to play Colts and Grades at Jeeps and was fortunate enough to compete i...n a finals series for Reserve Grade and won lower grade premierships. Importantly he was able to share the field with his younger brother Sam and enjoyed two tours with the club to South America. He was a natural leader and organiser of the playing group, on and off the field. He was extremely popular and hard working member of the club, a big believer in fair play and a loyal supporter of Jeeps, the Reds and the Wallabies. In recent years Jules took on his battle with Pancreatic Cancer head on and threw himself into an ambassador role with Pancare and has had a huge impact in raising awareness and funds for his cause. The club has supported Jules in this ambition through our charity rounds. The Jefferis family have long been valued members of Jeeps from Junior days and very active in club life. Peter Jefferis still assists with the home game set-up crew on Saturday mornings. It is a huge loss to the Jefferis family and to Jeeps. Allie, Percy, Peter, Debbie, Sam and Anna are hosting a gathering at the GPS Rugby Club at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon for all of Julian’s family and friends in remembrance of a life well lived. Attendees are encouraged to wear anything purple.

01.01.2022 Well done to the Queensland Reds on their 2020 #SuperRugbyAU season. It was great to see so many GPS boys involved throughout the season!
