Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page 
A plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League and the historical significance of the site.
Kitchener Park served as the home venue of the Wynnum-Manly Rugby League Football Club from 1951 until the club’s relocation to Kougari Oval in 1967. Wynnum-Manly played its first official match here, against Souths, on 11 March 1951.
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.
