Club History
Merewether Carlton Crest
In the 1980s, Merewether Carlton Rugby Club adopted the crest of the Merewether family, the original settlers of the Merewether area.
The crest carries the latin ‘Vi Et Consilio’, which translates to ‘with strength and wisdom’.
The family association continues to this day. John Merewether is the patron of our junior club.
Merewether Family links to The Greens
The original land grant of the land that is now known as Gibbs Bros Oval was made to Mr Edward C Merewether in 1863.
This is a copy of a 1923 painting of the Merewether’s original family home “The Ridge”, with a very different looking local area.
