And we want to continue to produce more!

The aim of our annual sponsorship of local sporting clubs is to assist, develop, promote, and encourage all sporting and community activities in and around the Tumut region.

We sponsor a number of different local teams each year including the Tumut Bulls Rugby Club, Tumut Blues Rugby League and Tumut Plains Cricket Club.

We are proud to contribute significant sponsorship funds to assist local sporting organisations and are constantly looking at new ways to engage and support.

It’s important to give something back to our community.

If you have a sporting club looking for sponsorship, drop in and see the team. We are more than happy to discuss!

Tumut Blues Rugby League Club

No accurate date can be given for the start of the Rugby League in Tumut, However, that game was gaining in popularity since its introduction to Sydney in 1908. No Official local record could trace to league until 1920…

From 1921 – 1971 the Maher Cup was the most famous trophy in New South Wales country Rugby League. Coaches and players were important to try and win the Old Tin Pot, as it was after accurately known, and the locals grew ten feet tall when selected in the Cup months.

The Cup was “born” in Tumut and finalised in the town if it’s origin in 1971.

The Maher Cup was to Rugby League what the Melbourne Cup was to racing. It’s focus gained on and off the field was instrumental in laying the foundation of the high standard set and continued in Group 9.

The Cup could well be related to the Seven Deadly Sins.

Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth.

You can catch the guys at the Royal Hotel every Friday night (in Game Season) for CHASE THE ACE! Anyone can win the Jackpot – you just need to buy the tickets … + 8 meat trays to win!
