Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — I congratulate the Waverley Old Boys Rugby Union Club for a fantastic 2019 season. I had the pleasure of attending their annual awards night which celebrated the amazing contributions being made both on and off the field. Some highlights include 3rd Grade taking out the Minor Premiership, 4th grade's sensational 6 game winning streak which took them from 6th place to Premiers and the club placing 4th overall in the Division 1 Club Championship - the first time they have achieved this in 25 years!!!!!

I also recognise the 2019 Club Person of the Year, Scott Sarson. Scott coached 3rd Grade to a Minor Premiership, along with assisting in 1st grade, came out of retirement and strapped on the boots in all 5 grades whenever they were short on players, has been the welcoming committee at the airport for many of our new international players, helping them navigate accommodation and work opportunities. Finally, Scott has been instrumental in launching the club's new venture Oz Rugby Experience, which promotes Bondi & Rugby hand in hand. Well done to Scott, the club President, Secretary and Executive and to all that contributed to a fantastic 2019 season!
