Thanks Tony and Peter

Last NRL season, Hornsby Rockets member Warren Seymour was invited to watch a NRL match some colleagues (he works for Franklins). During the evening, Warren told his fellow footy fans about his bowling team, and how much the members gain from participating in Hornsby Rockets ... they were very taken with the story, particularly Tony Parsons (from Franklins) and Peter Marshall (who is affiliated with South Sydney RL Club). 

Peter and Tony came along to  Rockets on 11th February, to present a donation of $320 collected from friends and supporters,, and to ask what else they could do.  They have agreed to supply ball and hand towels for every Hornsby Rockets member this season, in addition to their already generous donation. 

Thank you very much gentlemen, and thanks to Warren for being such a great ambassador for Hornsby Rockets.

Hornsby Rockets member Kelvin Abela took out the trophy for the First Annual NSW TBA Disability Restricted Masters Championship on 18th December, at Fairfield. Christine from AMF Hornsby presented Kelvin with his trophy and certificate at the first bowling day for 2012 last Saturday.

Congratulations Kelvin - well done, we're all proiud of you!
