Boot up and NEVER give up!

Surfers Paradise Gorillas are a group of seasoned rugby enthusiasts who, despite the wear and tear on their bodies, still harbour an unwavering passion for the game.
The Gorillas, aged between 35 and 70+ years, play local games most months and play under the Golden Oldies and Veterans rules. Our mission centres on fun and camaraderie, providing a social haven for rugby fanatics while relishing the simple joys of sharing a few drinks and hearty laughs.
Join us at training every Thursday night for a friendly game of touch footy. It’s an open invitation to be part of this vibrant community who know that age is just a number when it comes to enjoying the sport we love.

Over 35 and young at heart
