The Whitsunday Junior Raiders Rugby Union Club gathered in style last week to celebrate a standout season at their End of Year Awards Night. Held at Whitsunday Sports Park, the event was a heartfelt tribute to the players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who made 2024 a season to remember.
Club President Tim Oberg took the opportunity to reflect on the dedication and growth of the players throughout the year.
“I’m so proud of the way our players have conducted themselves this season,” shared Tim.
Not only have they improved as rugby players, but they have grown as young people who we hope will go on to make positive contributions to our community outside of sport.”
The evening showcased the remarkable achievements of players at all levels, celebrating their efforts in scoring tries, making tackles, and showing exceptional sportsmanship. Coaches and team managers were also recognised for their commitment and leadership, which has played a crucial role in guiding players both on and off the field.
The club also took a moment to express its deep appreciation for the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes - from setting up fields to running the canteen. A special thanks was given to the club’s generous sponsors - Whitsunday Prosocial Support Services, Green Energy Technologies, BK Constructions, and SMP Whitsundays - for their continued support throughout the season.
Families and supporters, described as the "heart of the club," were celebrated for their unwavering enthusiasm and encouragement, which fuelled the team’s spirit, no matter the weather.
As the 2024 season draws to a close, the Whitsunday Junior Raiders are already looking forward to an even stronger 2025 season. The club wishes all members and supporters a healthy and active off-season.
