Vale DR Bernard “Bernie” Curran AM

It is with heavy hearts we share the news of the passing of seahorse 147 Bernie Curran.

Bernie’s contribution to University of Newcastle rugby was unrivalled, solidified in 2019 when university oval number 1 was officially renamed Bernie Curran Oval. His memory will forever live on as current and future generations from university rugby players play on Bernie Curran Oval.

Bernie was often found at our home games chatting to our current players and old boys alike. He will be sorely missed by the entire Hunter rugby and university community.

Some of Bernie’s positions and achievements over his years with UoNRUC include:
1st XV captain
Anderson medal winner
Club President 1983-1987
UoNRUC life member
University of Newcastle Blue 1976
University of Newcastle Colour 1988
The Forum, Newcastle University Sport honorary life member 1993
