The 2020 season has drawn to a close with a successful prizegiving on Saturday afternoon/night. The coveted Hanlin Shield has returned to hang on our wall after an absence of a few years. Congratulations to all of our winners from Friday night's Football South prizegiving. We wish our mens and womens U19 teams who compete in the Coastal Spirit U19 tournament this weekend all the best. Thank you to all of our coaches, life members, patron, managers, volunteers, committee, sponsors, supporters, players and members for a successful 2020 season as we look forward to more progress and success next year.

Our club was well represented at the annual Football South prizegiving at Forbury Racecourse on Friday night. We took the following away on the night:

• (most importantly) The Hanlin Shield
• Presidents of the year: Wayne Facer & Mark Preston
• Most promising ref of year: Wayne Van Gorp
• Junior coach of year: Renee Bacon
• Male personality of year: Morgan Jarvis

2020 successes and looking ahead to 2021, this year has been fantastic, in so many ways, successes have been:

• Our Football Development Officer being a success and self funding and back again next year.
• Our facilities being upgraded with new DCC lights lighting up more fields, the softballers being at Hancock Park (giving our fields more recovery time), roof being fixed and our gym floor next to be fixed.
• Our changing rooms upgrade seeing a proposal going to the Otago Polytech for them to use this stand alone 4 room changing room venture being their project for their students next year, potentially reducing the cost significantly.
• Our fundraising for the revised changing rooms project being at $75K.
• Our sponsorship having been increased by 300% this year.
• Our own club beer, The Late Tackle being launched successfully and quenching the thirst of many a Roslyn Wakari person this season. 

See you all in 2021 with a proposed later start date of May 1.

Giddy Up!
