Wins to our Men's and Women's Prems teams highlighted the sporting weekend where conditions were very wintry. Many of our teams are either top of the table or close to it and this is a positive place to be.

The club farewelled our committed club member, past president and life member Ernie Westeneng who passed away last week. Ernie was a much valued and loved member of the club who was farewelled appropriately and respectfully on Friday where many fond memories of Ernie were recounted. Rest well Ernie.

We look forward to seeing you this Saturday at Ellis Park where our Mens 'Prems fight to retain two important trophies, The Stumpy Brownlie Trophy contested between us and our oldest foe Northern, and the Blair Davidson Challenge Trophy. We look forward to locking these away again after Saturday.

On top of this we look forward to celebrating the Robbie Oram appreciation day this Saturday and ask members to acknowledge this by wearing their shortest of shorts on the day, the tighter the better.

A big thank you to our many volunteers who give up their time to referee games at Ellis Park and further afield. Your efforts are valued and appreciated by the teams involved and the club.

Giddy up!
Wayne Facer
RWAFC President

Played G.I. on a windswept Ellis Park, after a pre-match rev up the boys got stuck in with some slick passing moves scoring a couple of well worked goals. After the break they extended the lead to then dig deep to survive a late surge from Green Island, ending up winning 4-2.

Player of the Day going to Jayson for a hard working dominant display.
