Read the full storyA strong wave of interest is building in the lead-up to a special milestone weekend for the Wallaman Rugby League community. Former players, coaches, officials, and supporters are gearing up to reunite in Ingham on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th July 2025, celebrating 55 years since Wallaman first entered the Herbert River Rugby League competition, and 40 years since their under-18 team were crowned Minor Premiers and Premiers of the 1985 season.
The idea sparked during a casual pub catch-up of Ingham legacy players, and has since gained momentum, with many travelling from across Queensland and beyond to be part of this historic event.
The weekend will kick off with a Friday night “Meet & Greet” at the Station Hotel from 6pm, giving everyone the chance to share stories, laughs, and a few cold ones. On Saturday night, the gathering will move to the Ingham RSL from 5pm, with dinner available from 6pm.
A number of Wallaman legends will be in attendance, including premiership-winning coaches Bob West, Max Johnson, Rod Henniker, Barry Rolfe, and Scotchy Smith, as well as Greg Dowling, the only player to rise through Wallaman's junior ranks to reach top-level rugby league.
All former players, officials, wives, partners, and supporters are warmly invited. The organising committee expects up to 200 attendees, so if you’re planning to join, please RSVP by 30th June 2025 to help with catering numbers.
To confirm attendance, contact any of the mates here; Cliff: 0427 480 710, Scotchy: 0410 338 045, Jim: 0417 779 932, Peter: 0438 669 698.
Don’t miss this chance to relive the glory days, honour club history, and reconnect with mates – see you in Ingham in July!
