2017 Richmond End of Year Awards Prize Giving Results

26/9/2017

0 Comments

 
On Saturday 23rd September 2017 the Richmond Rovers Rugby league & sports club inc. held its annual end of year awards senior prize giving event held at Auckland's Ellerslie events centre. 

An enjoyable evening with family and friends culminating in what was to be the end of the 2017 Auckland rugby league season. All members looked stunning at the sold out Richmond event closing off the footy year with an enjoyable evening with tasty food, great tunes from our club DJ (Ojay Guttenbeil) and celebrating each teams achievements.

Each senior teams success throughout the senior club can not have afforded the luxury of such a thriving environment without the support of our local business partners support.
