The Hillbillies are a Golden Oldies Rugby Team started by Hill High School Old Boys in 2008. We are based at the Union Rugby Club, Cnr 11th Street & Forest Road, La Rochelle, Johannesburg. (Wemmer Pan)
To be eligible to play you have to be 32 years of age or older and although the club was started by ex Hill High students, players from any school, denomination or area are welcome to join.
The club is registered and affiliated to the Golden Lions Rugby Union. We do not participate in a League as it defeats the purpose of being a social club and a social sport. All games are social games that are organized randomly between the different clubs. Being a social club we also play football, cricket and other sports against other clubs and/or organizations. We normally have practice sessions on a Saturday or Sunday and we try to play 6-8 games per year. The Golden Oldies host an annual national event where teams from all over the country and players from other countries compete over a weekend and just enjoy the game of rugby, the friendship and the camaraderie that goes with the game.
The Hillbillies host several Family days and Fund Raisers during the year to enable all our players to attend the Nationals every year, we are a family orientated club with a passion for rugby and socializing.
