The Singleton Junior Greyhounds’ newest tradition continued on Saturday night when they officially farewelled the 2017 U16s division one side during a memorable dinner. It the second year the club has organised such an occasion where each player is presented with their jersey. This is a significant gesture as it marks the end of their junior league journey. They must now join the senior ranks if they wish to continue playing what they no doubt consider the greatest game of all. Over 100 guests filled the Diggers function room to wish the lads well in their future endeavours. This included two guest speakers: former Greyhound and current NRL player, Bulldog Kerrod Holland, and legend Ricky Walford, who is now a CRL Indigenous Programs Manager. With Holland painting a picture of what it is like to play at the highest level and confirming he will continue to play with Canterbury in 2018.
