Around 130 guests including sponsors, committee members, players, family and friends showed up to celebrate a fantastic season for the Workies Wolves RLFC in 2019.

Wolves President Anthony Brown was the emcee for the evening. He said a huge thanks to the sponsors for their continued support.

"We appreciated their sponsorship which really helps to sustain the club, with increasing costs every year and without that generosity our club doesn't succeed or get us on the paddock," he said.

Brown also thanked the committee and coaches for an outstanding season:

"What a season it was, from the sand dunes in Bondi at the start of the pre-season to making the finals in four out of five grades, with first division taking out the grand final undefeated premiers, the premier grade getting beaten in the second week of the semis to finish a commendable fourth after being last after round six," he said.

"The open league tag finishing the regular season in fourth position but bowing out in the first semi, the under 18's league tag side finishing fifth and making it to the second round of the semis before bowing out in what what was a magnificent effort for their first season.
