APRIL Volunteers of the Month!

Local footy has made its return for 2023 and we were treated to plenty of quality rugby league action right across the board.

With senior rugby league kicking off on the 15th of April and juniors getting underway on the 29th, none of it would be possible without volunteers putting in the work behind the scenes.

Whether it be taking the reigns as a junior coach, acting as a ground manager or even keeping the canteen fully stocked on gameday, every bit of help goes a long way to helping every club thrive.

April saw hundreds of volunteers across the community chip in to help their club and as a result we saw countless nominations come in for April's Volunteers of the Month award.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination and of course to the large number of volunteers that continue to do such great work!
