🐓 PRESENTATION AWARDS 2026 🐓
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Presentation Day today!
Whilst the early morning looked wet and grim, by 10am the sun was out and it was hot! It was lovely to come together to celebrate our players, recognise their achievements and thank those who give so much to BMRL.
A huge thank you to Katrina and Ian for once again cooking, preparing and serving everyone food and drinks. We appreciate you both!
Thank you to Peter Rhienburger for travelling down to present a history-making Life Membership award and our Club Person of the Year award, and to Dave Eadie for presenting the Junior Club Person of the Year award named in honour of his father.
We also presented special thank-you gifts to recognise these wonderful volunteers:
⭐ Emma Irvin — for her countless hours and years of service to BMRL.
⭐️ Wendy Deighton - for her 14 years of service as club photographer
⭐ Leonie and Grant — Referee Coordinators.
⭐ Amanda and Judy — Yearbook.
⭐ Emma, Ella and Lara — Game Day Helpers.
⭐ Madi Cuzner and Sallie Holzhauser — Fundraising.
⭐ Gemma and Tim Shinnick — Sponsorships & Grants

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors for their unwavering support and generous contributions throughout the season. Your support helps us provide opportunities for our players and keep our club running, and we are incredibly grateful.
So much happens behind the scenes, and we are grateful to everyone who lends a hand throughout the season.
