Charles is originally an Irishman who met a lovely Australian girl whilst visiting his brother in Newcastle back in the late 1960’s. He married Sue in 1970 and moved to Tamworth where he was involved in many roles at the local Tamworth Pirates club.

Having played rugby in Ireland, England and South Africa prior to settling in Australia, Charles also devoted his time and energies to assisting the growth of the junior game at both a NSW Country Juniors and NSW Juniors level.

As a Qualified Accountant – F.C.P.A. and a qualified Chartered Company Secretary, it was only natural that Charles would be steered into the role of NSW Juniors Treasurer in2003. A role that he would remain in for a decade, serving under past NSWJRU Presidents such as Barry Killham, Michael Minns, John Spana and Paul Taylor.

He showed great commitment to the role, travelling from Tamworth to Sydney for every NSW Junior Rugby Meeting and attended to all treasury Matters of NSW Junior Rugby as and when needed.
