Its been a terrible few weeks for the Colleagues and our deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of the late Bruce Hudson (1958-59) Julian Gregory (1976-77) Adam O’Reagan (1991-1994) and last Thursday 20th October, Jeremy Ingall (1981-82).
VALE Adam O’Reagan
Adam played for the Colleagues in the early 90’s. During this time he made many friends with his friendly inquiring nature always thinking of others. A big welcoming smile and sense of humour was the O’Reagan trademark, Adam managed the social committee for the Colleagues in 1994 successfully organising the Club’s annual ball at the Grand Hotel Bondi (no mean feat). On the field Adam was as honest as the day was long, playing his rugby in a tough boy from the bush manner always giving his best for the club. Adam was part of several GF teams culminating in a win with the victorious 5th grade team in 1994.

I received a note from one of his team mates who said this about Adam
Greg Neher said
“This is horrible news. Adam was a great guy and extremely kind and welcoming to me when I first joined Colleagues. Boothie i hope you’ll indulge some Colleagues history but I was lucky enough to play Judd Cup with Adam in 1993. We just missed a premiership with the “three Adams” back row. He is remembered today in Seattle”.
…………
I remember Adam very much enjoying the 4th grade “Adam’s family” tag. It’s a memory of Ad’s which we can keep, along with plenty of other memories that will not be forgotten by those who knew him!
There is a web address for donations to support Adam’s family during this tough time.
