Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League and the site of Rugby League in Ourimbah.
The Centenary Plaques Programme was put in place by the Centenary of Rugby League Committee to commemorate sites of historical significance to Rugby League - such as stadiums, suburban grounds and club formation sites. Nearly every aspect of Australia’s Rugby League landscape is covered by a Centenary Plaque – with plaques dedicated to the commemoration of Indigenous Rugby League, National Rugby League (NRL) first-grade clubs, foundation clubs, former Premiership clubs, New South Wales and Queensland Country, and those sites which were host to the foundation of the game itself in Australia.

Bill Sohier Park Ourimbah
This venue has been the home base of the Ourimbah RLFC since rugby league was first played on the Central Coast in 1913. The venue’s name commemorates the dedicated efforts of W J Sohier, who worked for almost 60 years to establish a sportsground in the district.
