Thank you to everyone who ventured out last night to support the Deniliquin Drovers Rugby Union Club and the Deniliquin Blue Heelers RLFC for their combined social gathering and women’s State of Origin event. As two small, yet passionate clubs in an Aussie Rules dominated region, we’re enjoying working collaboratively together to support each other. Special thanks to friends (old and new) of both clubs for their support, especially Donna Pisasale for hosting the yoga session, Delena Gaffney and The Gents men’s choir for their inspiring performances and The Deniliquin Club (corner George and Edwardes Streets) for hosting a diverse mix of like-minded individuals on a chilly Thursday night in Deni. Finally, huge shout out to Drovers legend Graeme Dick and Blue Heelers President Rach Jane for pulling it all off - including the delicious sushi dinner! Some of us questioned the concept initially, but the night was full of laughs and new-found camaraderie. It can only grow from here! Pictured are the poster boys for each club, Michael Pisasale and Kurt Longford. And yes, Mick is wearing the tightest yoga pants in the southern hemisphere.
