I give a huge congratulations to the Austral City Bears Junior Rugby League Club, which did not pull any hamstrings when it recently celebrated Mother's Day in style. On Sunday 11 May the club hosted its first junior round of the year at Craik Park and marked the occasion with something truly special—a women in league round. The day was all about celebrating the incredible women who make the game what it is—the players, mums, sisters, coaches, trainers and tireless volunteers behind the scenes. To top it off, the club partnered with Breast Cancer Network Australia, with every dollar raised going towards its vital work supporting people at risk or diagnosed, along with their supporters. Craik Park was a sea of pink, with jerseys, socks, decorations and plenty of heart. Alongside some great junior footy, the atmosphere was buzzing with raffles, guessing competitions, delicious cake stalls and a Mother's Day photo booth that kept the smiles rolling all day. The day showed the huge strength, spirit and community behind the game. I give a huge thanks to everyone at the Austral City Bears. Go the Bears!
