A successful Hawthorne Club season launch luncheon was held last Friday with Stephen Moore as the Guest of Honour. Great to see Dom Punch at the luncheon and receiving a special presentation from the Wallaby Skipper for his 150 grade games milestone.
NATE WANTS TO SAY THANK YOU!
Last Saturday marked the 12 month Anniversary since our little mate, Nate Wetini was seriously injured helping at a working bee at Marcellin Park last season. Nate celebrated this occasion with massive performance for the MRC Under 8’s scoring 2 tries. Nate is making the most of his second chance, and he wants to thank all of you who supported him and his family in their time/s of need.
The BarTV match of the round is Hamilton v The Waratahs at Passmore Oval. Link to the live broadcast P1 Hamilton v The Waratahs
