Eagles Rugby Club

It was first granted registration by the Registrar of Societies on 24th February 2005. However, in compliance with our country’s Sports Development Act of 1997, we have registered under the Sabah Sports Commissioner’s Office on 3rd October 2012 under registration No. 04/5449/2012(SBH). ERC has right of use and management of a clubhouse building, rugby pitches and other facilities built on 5 acres of prime land located at Bandar Utama, Mile 6, Jalan Utara, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. It is one of the very few sports facilities, if not the only, in Malaysia that was planned, designed and built specifically with the game of rugby in mind. In short, the club building, amenities and the pitches are ‘rugby-centric’. Of course the clubhouse has other facilities like an international sized futsal court, a pool table, table tennis tables (including a special mechanized training table), table soccer and dart boards for members to enjoy. There is also a newly completed 4 storey building which houses a canteen, coaches’ quarters and a dormitory capable of accommodating up to 60 players comfortably. It especially benefits school children coming from the rural areas to take part in rugby training or tournaments held in the city. A fully-equipped gymnasium is now in the advanced stages of completion. It will feature state-of-the-art training equipment.
