    Description
    The UNSW Rugby League Club was formed on 9 July 1963 at a meeting in the Union, which was convened by John Reed, Peter James and Leo Lynch. The club briefly folded in late 1998/99, but it was resurrected again in time for the 2000 season. In 2001 Oztag was introduced to the club and the club's name changed as a result. The Club appears to have been closed down sometime during 2008, as it does not appear on a list of current clubs on the university's Sport & Recreation website in 2009 and the last mention on the Club's website relates to the 2008 season (http://www.sportsassociation.unsw.edu.au/leagueandoztag/ and http://www.sportandrec.unsw.edu.au/).

    The Hockey Club was first established at the university on 16 April 1953, when an inaugural meeting of the Club was held and D. Saunders was elected as President. Shortly afterwards the Club was affiliated with the Sports Association. Following the 1953 season the Club appears to have gone into abeyance until a revival of the Club occurred at a meeting on 7 April 1960. A committee of five was formed to organise the club in the interim prior to proper executive being elected. The Club's initial aims were: -play invitation matches in 1960 (men only) -women will play in Sydney Grade Competition -men will play intervarsity in Adelaide this year -women will play intervarsity in Hobart Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 16/04/1953-

    In 1961, communication about a proposed water-ski intervarsity competition was circulated to universities. UNSW responded that there was not currently a club, but that there were a number of students who participated in the sport. It was suggested that a club may be formed in the event of the competition being created. Again in 1962, a similar letter was recieved but this time the competition was scheduled for 1963. The University doesn't appear to have competed. The Water Ski Club was conceived at a meeting on 13 April, 1967, with 22 interested parties present. The Club become affiliated with the Sports Association at a meeting of the General Committee on 5 July 1967. The first Annual General Meeting for the Club was held on 19 September, 1967, with 30 attendees. The Club later changed its name to the Waterski and Wakeboard Club.
