Community Recognition: Redfern All Blacks

Today in Parliament we acknowledged the achievements of the Redfern All Blacks rugby league football club. 

 

Ms JENNY LEONG ( Newtown ) ( 17:07 :34 ): I draw the attention of the House to the achievements of the Redfern All Blacks rugby league football club. The club was officially founded in 1944 and is the oldest Aboriginal rugby league football club in the country. This year the Redfern All Blacks men's team won the trophy in the grand final of the Sydney Combined Competition and very recently also won the prestigious Koori Knockout competition for the second year in a row. The Redfern All Blacks women's team made it to the semi‑final of the Sydney Metro Women's Rugby League Division 1 and were also champions at the Koori Knockout, winning the women's competition. I congratulate all of the players, team officials, volunteers and supporters who have been part of a great year.
