VALE DR Bernard ‘Bernie’ Curran AM

Vale DR Bernard “Bernie” Curran AM

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

Bernie’s contribution to University of Newcastle Rugby Union 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.

University of Newcastle Rugby Union ask that anyone with University Blues, Colours or old jerseys/apparel, please wear to the game today to honour the amazing person that Bernie was.

Our hearts go out to Bernie’s family, the University rugby family and everyone who was lucky enough to be graced by his presence.

He will be sorely missed by the entire Hunter rugby and university community.
