History

At the first meeting held for the formation of the club, this meeting being held in Cripps room, situated at the rear of what is now Majors Store in High Street, the distinctive colors of the two blues was decided.

In deciding on the Two Blues the club set out on the right footing from the very inception, as no other club can boast of the traditional colors of the two most famous Universities in the world, Cambridge and Oxford.

These colors were selected the dark blue of Oxford and the 1ight blue of Cambridge because of the keen rivalry of the originators of the club, each University being equally represented on the Goldflields by former students men of great foresight who had the wisdom to come together and form one grand and happy club.

THE CLUB THEME SONG

WE ARE THE BLUES
THE ONLY REAL TWO BLUES
FOR WE CAN WIN A GAME
AND WE CAN LOSE
AND OUR AIM IS TO DO, AND NOT TO TALK
FOR WE COME FROM THE OLD EAGLEHAWK
AND WHEN THE GAME IS ON, WE DO OUR BEST
WE BATTLE THROUGH AND
GET IT OFF OUR CHEST
IF YOU DON'T WANT A RIDE, YOU CAN WALK
WHERE TO....EAGLEHAWK, EAGLEHAWK, EAGLEHAWK.
