2024 Wrap Up
2024 was another fantastic year for Pirates Sports Club and it’s members, we had so much to celebrate from all of our sections and we welcomed some great new developments to our historic spotys club!
One of our greatest highlights is the Astro Project which is well underway and we are very excited to be brining our senior and junior hockey sections back to Pirates after years of training and playing matches at schools within the area. We are also very excited to announce the partnership between Blairgowrie Primary School who will be assisting us with a huge financial influx to help us finsih the project very early in 2025. This will give them the opportunity to make use of our world class facility for the next 10 years!
We are also now the 2 time winner of the Best of Joburg Awards for the Best Sports Club/Venue in Johannesburg! We are very proud of our achievements and they would not be possible without the amazing support of our members and the community.
The Road Running section is now officially our largest section with over 500 members running in Pirates colours all over the world. Comrades in 2024 was the best showing we have had from our great club with 147 runners qualifying for the ultimate human race! The running section has also moved their home base to the Tennis bar with some awesome upgrades coming soon!
Our Tennis section has also grown over the last year with all of the courts having their upgrades completed. The members have also put their hands up and assisted us with the paved parking area, gorgeous gardens and a fresh coat of paint, making the Tennis Club House one of the finest in the area!
Our Bowls section is also on the rise with the introduction of Social bowls on Saturday mornings. Here members, guests and friends come together and learn the beautiful game of bowls, which has helped increase our membership too. The lawns are looking absolutely stunning alongside the well kept gardens around the entire area. In 2025 we will see the deck get some well deserved upgrades for members and guests to enjoy their afternoon drinks.
Cricket Season is well underway and we have seen some great talent come through. We are very proud to have players from Scotland here representing our club as well as some new development players who have added some incredible value in the entire section.
Our Squash courts are looking amazing and the members are also doing some amazing things. in 2024 we saw our ladies side win their league and we had a silver medal in the Masters World Cup, won by Linda Shannon! Squash offers league and social memberships and we would love to see more members of the community coming through and joining our great section.
Rugby keeps growing each year with many senior and junior players coming to Pirates and representing our historic rugby section. In 2024 our womens side won the Womens Grand Challenge after beating the varsity side, UJ. Preseason has started and if you would like to join please contact info@piratesrugby.co.za.
