As we sit back and reflect with pride on a stellar season for the Maitland Blacks from the littlest ones in the juniors through to the biggest boppers in first grade, our attention turns to building for the future.

On October 14 we will host the first annual CRASHBALL at Marcellin Park, with the express goal of raising funds to maintain and improve our home base as the jewel of Hunter rugby.

We have a cracking line-up of bands performing on an outdoor stage, featuring our very own Dan Runchel Band, Fish Fry, Pow Wow, The Golden Gaytimes (including former Blacks alumni Scott ''Blackus'' Blackley), Milestones and Ngariki will bring the sweet festival vibes between 2pm and 8pm.

This is a wonderful event for the entire Blacks family and broader community to get behind.

See you there!
