What a sensational Presentation Night with over 200 people in attendance in the main function room at Club Italia. A night of nights to celebrate a magnificent season bouncing back in strong membership numbers in the first full season since 2019. Celebrating 5 Premiership flags, milestone awards up to 700 games, best & fairest and runners up award recipients and club champions.
One of the most special moments of any presentation night in history was a very special 500th retirement award for Harry Zac who has overcome enormous barriers after a terrible road accident to reach 500 appearances on the field for the Bulldogs. A moving speech and a standing ovation from the room a club highlight. Harry continues to contribute to the club over and beyond and pledged to do so for as long as he possibly can.
A moving tribute was to those we have lost, life members Alby Speed, Brendan Sheehan, Leon Gale and longstanding club member snd supporter Karen Veitch, a significant list of much loved and cherished people who we will always remember.
Congrtulations to our Men’s Club Champion Kyle Gildea and Women’s Club Champion Rosie Villagra and all the award recipients.
Dancing the evening away and mingling, after a short and sharp presentations and club highlight videos, a great evening was had by all. Huge thanks to Giulia Wisemena for organising the evening, Rick Wiseman nd Romy Kenworthy for putting together the video highlights, Simon Borger for being our MC and all the other helpers.
