The Deniliquin Rovers Football & Netball Club’s annual Past Players and Volunteers Day on Saturday was a fantastic celebration of community, sport, and club spirit.

With five football games and eight netball matches against Mathoura played at Memorial Park, the day was packed with action.

Highlights included a spirited match featuring the Rovers Fifths and Deniliquin Auskick players, showcasing the future talent of the club.

Former and current players and volunteers gathered in the clubrooms from noon, enjoying discounted drinks and great company.

The canteen served up plenty of food, keeping supporters fuelled throughout the day.

A barbecue dinner then followed the games, during which the much-anticipated $800 membership draw was held. As you had to be there to win, there were five drawn before a winner was found on the sixth.

The event wrapped up with a lively goods and services auction, and generously supported by donors and bidders.

Proceeds will be re-invested in the club.
