We love receiving positive feedback from our fans regarding our community initiatives. Jacqui Knight’s son George attended our School Holiday Clinics in Tuggerah this week, and sent through the following message to Mariners HQ.

“Just wanted to say what a fantastic time my son had at today’s clinic. Thank you so much to everyone involved. That was so wonderful to let the kids hold the trophy and have the players available for autographs. A very memorable day for George. He went to every home game this season and has made 3 of the 4 finals so a very happy chap to get so up close and personal with the trophy, as you can see. Please extend my thanks to the holiday clinic team.”
