Rovers formed in 1948, starting with a bang and winning the competition in their first year, also in 1949 and again in 66.
Scots formed in 1950 and were winners in 1956, 57 and 58. Scots seeking financial sponsorship then became known as Workmen’s Club in 1959 and won that year and again in 1962.
In 1970 Workmen’s Club combined with Rovers to become Workmen’s Club Rovers as they are still registered today. They then went on to win another 15 A-Grade Premierships.
The 70 Year Reunion of Workmen’s Club Rovers and Scots will be held on the October long weekend, starting with a barbecue and a friendly game on Saturday, September 29 at the Lithgow Hockey Centre at 12pm.
