Return to the Bush Inn & Watch the Future of the Pirates battle St Kevins (Under 19’s) – August 4th
A nostalgic visit to 505 Malvern Road, Hawksburn has seen inaugural secure the Bush Inn’s upstairs function room with it’s " … stunning new decor and carefully considered food and wine menus …" for our “Return to the Bush Inn” on August 4th. With capacity for 50 diners, the room will provide an ideal space for Pirates old and not so old to reminisce of years and games gone by.
The plan for the day is to take in the Under 19s game against St Kevins (just down the road) and then descend on the Bush Inn around midday for a relaxing afternoon.
If your schedule does not allow for an early morning coffee and donut with Stewie, in the Malvern Valley mist, then plan to reach the Pub by twelve.
Those who suffer from a dimming recollect or for whom the prospect of reminiscing may have dulled, let me sharpen your senses with a snap from the 1981 Presentation Day (I think).The legendary Frank Hulls enjoys a bitterly cold one with from left, Inaugural President, Phil Mannes, kicker of eight goals in our first ever game, Rob Hulls, Darryl Neal, sporting a virulent Van Dyke, an unidentified autograph hunter, and, on Frank’s left, Sambo, in the days when his stomach doubled as a washboard:
Inaugural Team member and official Inaugural Photographer, Phil Wright, is working on the production of the shots he took at the Legends Game and we hope to have those running, along with the shots he took in the eighties. Compulsory viewing.

For past & present Pirates who live on the Peninsula, we are looking to secure a bus of some sort for the day to ensure everyone arrives and gets home safely on the day. However, we need to know numbers ASAP. There will be an additional cost involved but certainly bucket loads cheaper than a taxi or Uber. Please email Pearcey –pearceyspirates@gmail.com to confirm your place or comment that you like the idea of the bus please!
We are also looking for 1 possibly 2 MINIBUS DRIVERS if anyone would be interested? *
