 The Palmerston Polocrosse Club was formed in 1981.
The club was originally named after Darwin’s new town - Palmerston.
The Palmerston Club had their first playing field at the Freds Pass Recreational Reserve and then moved to Robbie Robins Reserve in 1995 were the club grounds remain to date. Since moving, the club has been very successful and has one of the best playing grounds around.
The clubs history includes Pat Davidge and family joining the club in the earlier life and success from members such as Darren and Noel Hassall playing for Australia at Chinchilla in Queensland in 1988.
Darren Hassall has also represented Australia on the New Zealand Tour in 1993 and has played and been coached by some of the greats of the game – Graeme Spackman and Maurice and Terry Donnelly. Darren has also picked up Best Horse & Rider Combination at the Australian Zones.
The club has members, both seniors and juniors that have represented the Northern Territory in all levels at state titles.
The Hassall family has a reputation for the most playing members at any one time. Today, members of the same family– of all ages - continue to play with the club.
Our club members are known for there efforts towards polocrosse in general and their willingness to work at the clubs carnivals.
Palmerston has always had approximately 50 members, including playing and social.
Last season Palmerston fielded an A grade, B Grade and C Grade side for the NT Championships and all 3 sides made the finals with the B Grade coming out winners over Humpty Doo, the A grade Runners Up to Howard Springs and the C Grade losing by 1 goal to Humpty Doo.
We are a family orientated club and pride ourselves in our players enjoying their sport and having fun, with a competitive streak to mix it with the best.
