1955

A handful of rugby league fanatics from Forestville called a meeting on the steps of the old memorial hall to nominate an under 14 team in the Manly Warringah Junior rugby league. Unfortunately, insufficient players were raised and the team was withdrawn. As the competition draw was already done, Bill Bradley (life member) went on an impromptu door knock appeal to raise a side. In just two hours he had the numbers and Belrose RLFC was born. Later this year, an under 21 side was mustered. Coached by Manly and Australian legend Roy Bull, it included a 16 year old Frank Stanton !
