Hurstville United Junior Rugby League

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Mr Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the work of Hurstville United Junior Rugby League club, based in my local community. Our local area has a proud and rich rugby league history. We have produced some of the game's greatest players including immortals Reg Gasnier and Johnny Raper. This success is thanks to the fantastic pathways set up by local clubs like Hurstville United Junior Rugby League. Beyond producing NRL players, Hurstville United is a place for young players to make lifelong friendships, learn valuable skills and improve their general health and fitness. I was delighted to be able to support the club with the recent announcement of a $2,000 NSW Government grant. The funding will go toward purchasing training equipment and jerseys for players which will make a big difference at the club. I would like to thank President Holika Taufa and the whole team at Hurstville United for bringing the need for equipment to my attention. I would also like to them for their tireless efforts in supporting rugby league.
