When I lived in Sydney long ago I played RugbyLeague in over 21's for Waterloo Waratahs and Kensington United. Last year whilst visiting family I tried to contact club officials hoping to find old team mates.

I was surprised to find the Waratahs were long gone. So were Chelsea, Cleveland St. Old Boys, Federals, Fernleigh, Redfern United, and maybe some others. Does anyone know when or why these once strong clubs closed?
