Our Rupertswood Cricket Club Senior and Junior Presentation Events were held last weekend recognizing and celebrating the efforts of many for season 2012/13.
Well done to all award winners at both senior and junior level together with all coaches, and support people for your invaluable contribution to our great club.
The highlights of our presentation events involved two long time contributors to Rupertswood CC.
It was an emotional,typically humble but thoroughly well deserving Fiona Buckley who was inducted as a life member.
Fiona has the utmost respect and love of all at Rupertswood for her tireless commitment over more than 15 years.Whether as a team manager but more predominantly as a scorer(in our opinion the best in the GDCA),Fiona has always endeared us with her no fuss attitude plus a constant smile regardless of any situation.
It was also a tremendous accolade for our Junior Co-ordinator,Peter Kavanagh to be awarded our Best Club Person of the year.
As Peter celebrated his final year of junior duties as a premiership coach of our U/16 Blue team,it was justifiably a great endorsement of his contribution to our club on all levels.
As a co-ordinator,coach,committee member and player,Peter’s energy and work ethic in endeavouring to improve our club is undeniable and rightly acknowledged as recipient of this highly regarded award.
To Fiona and Peter,we say well done and once again,thankyou.
One of the largest and most diverse cricket clubs in the Gisborne District Cricket Association, Rupertswood aims to foster youth, sportsmanship, excellence and professionalism on the field and in the community through participation, learning and success underpinned by the Salesian ethos, club values and strong leadership.
