🔍 LOST PROPERTY 🔍

We have had a player report a missing pair of pink-framed prescription glasses following games at RLTD on Saturday.
The player participated in the last game on Field 1, and the glasses may have been misplaced around the field, team bench area, or surrounding area.

If anyone has found the glasses or handed them in, please contact the RLTD office or send us a message via Facebook.
We would greatly appreciate your assistance to help reunite them with their owner.

Thank you for your assistance! 💙🏉
