In 2013 the Alexandria Rovers Rugby League Football Club fielded 16 teams in the South Sydney competition, making it not only the biggest club in the inner city but one of the biggest clubs in the entire district.
In 2013 our club had over 240 registered players and coordinating presentation gear was a mighty task. All up, the club handed out over 180 trophies and presentation gear made up of a bag, jacket and shirt to all players, officials and sponsors. It took the total to just over the 300 mark for goodies to hand out on the day.
The club was lucky to have Souths’ first grader Beau Champion there to help hand out the gear. He did a great job and was very enthusiastic in offering praise to the younger kids.
This year the Rovers tasted premiership in the Under 12 NSW weight-restricted class and by winning the Under 8 competition. The Under 7 team also made the grand final and seven other teams played in the semi-finals.
Our club supplied players and officials for the following representative teams in 2013: Australia Indigenous Under 16; NSW Indigenous Under 16; NSW Under 16 Young Guns; South Sydney SG Ball; South Sydney Under 17; Sydney Indigenous Under 17; and Sydney Indigenous Under 16. A great achievement for all concerned!
With footy pre-season kicking off again in February, it should be another great year in 2014 for the club!
