This Saturday Round 16 is MND Round. This year South’s and Sunnybank will compete for the new MND Shield to commemorate and support MND charities in honour of Ross Maclean and former Sunnybank player Scott Sullivan.
Ross and his son Jeff (who played over 200 games for the club) have been South’s principal sponsors for over 47 years, with Ross heavily involved in the club over many years as a former club president, patron and life member and significant financial supporter of South’s Rugby Union Club.
Prior to his passing in 2005, Ross approached the QLD Brain institute and in conjunction with them started the Ross Maclean Fellowship with the commitment to fund the research into a cure for MND. Souths Rugby have backed the MacLean family with fundraising support yearly since 2005
Please join South’s in continuing support of this worthy cause in honour of Ross and Scott. The Jerseys worn by the Souths players in Saturdays match will be available for purchase for $100 as well as limited edition matching South’s MND polos for $50.
Sizes available Med to 6XL in jersey numbers 1-23. Please contact Jane at info@southsrugby.com to register your interest. These jerseys will be laundered and available for pick up the following week.
