Romsey busy on and off the field

Paralympian Patrick French.

Romsey Football Netball Club is extremely busy on and off the field, with various activities inter-related with the club’s 150th year.


The annual Sponsors’ Day on Saturday gave the club an opportunity to say thank-you to the generous group of individuals who support the Redbacks.


Australian Paralympics representative Patrick French came along and spoke about his aspirations as one of six members of the archery team heading for Paris in August.


The club has been assisting in fundraising for the 31-year-old local resident, who has made a meteoric rise since taking up the sport just over two years ago.


This Saturday evening the Redbacks will hold their annual Ball in the Newnham Room.

The following Saturday, August 10, is the Reunion Round for the Redbacks. They host Diggers Rest in the second last home and away round of football and netball.


The reunion encompasses past players and officials from the 2014 senior, 1956 and 1994 reserves, 2004 B-grade netball and 2014 C-grade premiership teams.


If anyone is aware of any former players or officials involved, and not on the current list, the club would appreciate hearing of their whereabouts.
