Supporters Note: This Black Dog Forest Trial will be our Season Launch - on 6th April 2024
On April 6th, Old rivals the Newport Breakers and @forestrugbyclub will clash for the inaugural BlackDog Cup. The clubs haven't played competition rugby against each other since 2015, when Forest secured the Manly Daily shield in a tight contest at Melwood.
The clubs have both come out of a strong era, with Forest being promoted to Division 1 a few years ago, competing week in week out with some of the strongest opposition in community rugby. Newport on the other hand, has won two Club Championships since the clubs last met, as well as two consecutive grand final appearances in the Barraclough Cup (1st Grade Division 2), taking home the trophy in 2022.
Both organisations have expressed a commitment to the improvement of Mental Health on the Northern Beaches and combined efforts in 2021 with the Bro Chats morning walks to raise awareness and encourage participation amongst their communities. Black Dog acts as one of Australia's only scientific research non-for-profits, taking a research approach to one of Australia's medical challenges. BDI is dedicated to research, early detection, prevention and treatment of common mental health disorders @blackdoginst
To raise funds for this cause, both clubs have agreed to compete in the BlackDog Shield as well, awarded to the club that raises the most amount of funds for the institute, you can see the fundraising pages on the club socials in the upcoming weeks.
Kick Off 3.55pm at Porters Reserve on the 6th of April
Post match entertainment will be announced over the upcoming weeks.

Jake Osborne is organizing this fundraiser.
Big Moses ruptured his achilles on Saturday against Harlequins and we are looking to help him out as he will no doubt need some time off work for his recovery.
Big Mooj is a very big part of our Newport family and has given many years to not only the jersey but the community.
Let's get behind Georgia (his wife) and his kids to ensure that we do the best we can to support him whilst he is off work.
Get well soon mate :) xx

Saturday 19 June - Pacific Islander Day...
Initially, this week was to remember Moape Ravuvu who tragically passed away during a 2nd Grade game at St Ives in 2012. His family has asked for it to be changed from "Mo" Day and reimagined as "Pacific Islander Day".
It is a huge day in our Calendar when we enjoy our friendships with the Pacific Islanders of our club and experience their food and culture. We will mark it by...
-
All players will be wearing Ankle socks to remember Moape.
-
1 Minute silence before 1st Grade.
-
Raffles & Donations to be collected throughout the day for the Ravuvu family.
-
The Vuata, Osborne and Keresi families are going to be cooking (Hangi) - some food for players and supporters after the game - all proceeds to be donated.
Trials - Saturday 27th March:
The Trial v Ourimbah + Ettalong Drinks has been cancelled due to rain.
However a new trial has been organized at Bantry Bay Oval, Seaforth from 12pm for both Grade and Colts.
Grade should be there 11am.
Opposition = Manly Savers and other teams.
All able bodied players should head there this Saturday, but know that you must have registered with Fusesport if you are to run on, instructions for doing that are here.
