14.01.2022 2021 Apparel Partner Announcement West Harbour Rugby are pleased to welcome Canterbury Teamwear ANZ onboard as our newest Partner, and Teamwear Apparel provider for 2021. Canterbury is a brand synonymous with Rugby around the world, and provides unmatched quality Teamwear apparel to Club’s ranging from grass roots level through to International teams. ... Since 1904, when Canterbury was founded, they have produced uniforms for the ANZAC forces through World War 1, fitted out the All Blacks for over 75 years, and supplied some of World Rugby’s most recognisable and successful teams. Canterbury have always believed in the power of the team that when we work together we can achieve more than we can as individuals. Where tradition meets innovation, that is where Canterbury excels. West Harbour RFC’s President, Tom Andrews in discussing the new partnership stated, We are excited to be partnering with Canterbury, a company which is synonymous with rugby, and its values; values that we at West Harbour hold dear. When you think of rugby apparel, the first thought that comes to mind is Canterbury. West Harbour Rugby’s General Manager, John Abi-Saab commented on the partnership When the Club went to tender for a new apparel partner earlier this year, we made it clear to all bidders that this was not going to be a straight apparel supply contract. The Club was looking for a partner who would take a multifaceted approach to assist in the development of our business including providing the highest quality playing and training apparel, various tiers of merchandise and gameday activations. Canterbury offered all of that and more! Tim Windle, National Sales Manager Teamwear Australia, Canterbury said, We are incredibly proud and excited to partner with West Harbour Rugby who are steeped in tradition, and excellence in Sydney Club Rugby. West Harbour is a Club with a unique identity, and as a trusted partner, we are thrilled to be able to support them with new and innovative initiatives both on and off the field. West Harbour is the Club to watch out for in 2021. Canterbury and West Harbour’s co-branded apparel will be available for purchase from November 2020, and throughout the 2021 season. #westharbour #pirates #canterburynz #canterburyaustralia #FireTheCannons #pirateslifeforme

04.01.2022 It’s with great sadness that West Harbour RFC announce the passing of Wallaby, John Griffiths. A burley front rower who played the majority of his career at Two Blues Rugby and won his first Wallabies cap at the ripe old age of 34. John coached First Grade at Western Suburbs RUFC in the late 1980s and early 1990s following his retirement from playing. John also coached Australia U21s as well as the being the assistant coach for Australia.... John was most recently a welcome spectator at West Harbour’s last game of the 2020 season against Southern Districts. John is fondly remembered by many of the Western Suburbs Old Boys who were coached by him. Vale John Griffiths

03.01.2022 West Harbour RFC Updated Logo Announcement The 2020 season has seen West Harbour RFC proudly celebrate two significant milestones in the Club’s long history. The first being the 120th Anniversary of the establishment of Western Suburbs RUFC in 1900, and the second being the 25th Anniversary of the establishment of West Harbour RFC in 1995. Throughout the past year the Club, and its players, have proudly worn the insignias of both the Western Suburbs RUFC and West H...arbour RFC on their chests. Many Old Boys of the Western Suburbs era have commented on how wonderful it is to see the black and white WS on the jersey once more! Following the feedback received regarding the use of the two logos coupled with extensive consultation with designers, apparel partners and a selection of members of the Club, the Board of West Harbour RFC has approved a simplified and modernised logo that aligns the two distinct identities of this proud Club. As such, in the lead up to the 2021 Season, West Harbour RFC would like to present our new Club logo. The newly updated WHRFC Club logo retains the core elements of the current West Harbour Pirates logo, including the red adopted in 1995, while paying homage to our rich history by adopting the black and white background of the original Western Suburbs RUFC logo. The updated logo will come into effect for the 2021 season!
