Melbourne Harlequins
The Melbourne Harlequins Rugby Union Club is an Australian rugby union team. Originally membership was restricted to people born in Britain, but this restriction has since been lifted.〔http://www.rugbynetwork.net/main/s98/st45898.htm?print=1〕 Although Rugby is the main sport, the club still plays friendly cricket, golf and darts.
==History==
The Melbourne Harlequins club was formed by a group of expatriate British and Irish living in Melbourne. The first event was a cricket match in 1929 between the Sydney Bohemians and the Melbourne Harlequins, The Harlequins team consisted of five club members plus six members of the MCC party (including Jack Hobbs and Patsy Hendren) who were in Australia for the Ashes whilst the Sydney Bohemians had seven Harlequins and five members of the Australian team. The first rugby match was not until the next year (1929).
Initially, the playing record was poor in the first three seasons. This record improved after the war and in 1948 the club undertook its first interstate tour to play the Hobart Harlequins. This was so successful that the “Jersey Match” was played each year between the two clubs. From 1949 to 1994 matches were played annually, with the prize being an old Melbourne Harlequins Jersey, the venue alternating between Melbourne and Hobart.
