The Griffin Genesis

In 1991, Tech College and Port Hunter Rugby Clubs merged to form Tech-Port.  They then changed the name to the Griffins. Both of these clubs boast proud histories. The Tech College Rugby Club was formed in 1948, whilst Port Hunter/Stockton Rugby Club emerged in 1895. 


The Griffin symbol holds significance. This fearsome beast brings together the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion, which relate to the symbols of our two founding clubs.

​

Since 1991 the Griffins have made the Grandfinal twice, in 2006 and 2022. 

​

The Griffins boast some major milestone players such as Todd Trench and John Gumb both playing over 350 games each. 

​

With so much history behind this club to share if you'd like to read more please click the link below to see how it all began.

As stated by John Bevan "If this history has proven anything, it’s proven that our great Club has fought just as hard off the field to SURVIVE as we did on the field to WIN.”
