West Arana Hills Rugby League Football Club

On Australia Day 1969 a group of people gathered at the residence of Mr Mal Guse on his instigation to discuss forming a Junior Rugby League Club. At this inaugural meeting in Colo Street, Arana Hills the group were confident that although the area was just developing, teams could be formed to teach the youth in the sport and league.

A steering committee was formed consisting of Mal Guse (President), Mary Flynn (Secret), Kev McKell (Treasurer). Brian and Judy Zeller, Margaret Starkey, Bob Fagg, Max Currell, Les Milliner and Mrs Bill Deihm were also present. A special general meeting was then called on 19 February 1969 at St William's Hall, Grovely (now demolished) where the same executive plus Bob Fagg (Vice President) were elected. The committee consisted of Brian and Lyn McLean, Bill and Milly Whitehead, Trevor and Pat Woods, Allan and Dorrie Torrance and Barry and Margaret Wood. Thus Arana Hills Junior Rugby League Club was formed.

Today we have over XXXX players, both male and female, in XX teams ranging from U6's through to Over 35's. We also have a development pathway due to our association with West Brisbane Panthers enabling our players the opportunity to play locallythrough most of their playing careers.
