Experienced Dirty Reds coach and former player Corbie Yeo has stepped into the role of president for the 2026 season after being elected at the Goulburn Rugby Club AGM on 12 November 2025.
Yeo, formerly the club’s senior vice president and the 2024 Clubperson of the Year, has shouldered a large share of duties for the club both on and off the field in recent years and said he was honoured to be elected into the presidency of the prestigious club.
“When you look at the honour board of presidents over the years it’s a bit humbling, but I’ll do my best to carry on the job,” he said.
Yeo praised outgoing president Beck Rudd, who he worked closely with in 2025, for her mentoring and assistance. Rudd, who was unable to attend the AGM due to a work commitment, will be returning to the committee in the position of secretary. Yeo also praised all of the outgoing committee for their outstanding work across the year.
At the meeting, the president’s report and treasurer’s report were tabled, both referencing an improvement in season 2025 both in terms of playing results and finances. All three senior playing sides showed promising trajectories, particularly in the back half of the season, and are poised for better things in 2026.
The new committee, elected at the AGM, is as follows:
