Volunteers help keep the ball in motion

Games begin around 8.30am. The skills on display are impressive and the games regularly excite the crowd. Parents and friends of the players jump up and down and really get involved in the action. The atmosphere is usually high-spirited and good-natured. It’s a good place to be on a Sunday morning.

Treena Cudmore and Dixie Gordon are just two of a group of five regular volunteers who have been giving their time freely in support of local youth. The Redfern All Blacks have teams from Under 7s right through to A and B Grade. Girls and boys are welcome to play. The money raised helps to provide jerseys, balls, training equipment as well as helping to meet the costs of running the club.

“It’s hard work but I love it,” Ms Cudmore said. Hundreds of bread rolls are cut and buttered early in the morning. The canteen also sells cold drinks, hot tea and coffee, lollies and chips.

Dixie Gordon runs the weekly raffle. Prizes have included beauty products and sometimes Redfern All Blacks memorabilia.

Season 2014 has now come to an end. A big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have contributed so much. Next year promises to be even better.
