Boggabri Kangaroos’ awards night

The Boggabri and District Rugby League Football Club hosted its annual awards night on Saturday, September 14, at the Boggabri Public School hall.

The awards night celebrated the individuals who shone in a tough season for the Kangaroos.

Boggabri’s ladies’ league tag, reserve grade and first grade sides were in attendance as well as many of the club’s dedicated supporters.

The night was completed in true Boggabri Kangaroos’ fashion when all three sides got together to sing the team song for founding member Col Gillham who called from Queensland to tell everyone how proud he was of the club.
