Rod Byers memorial

Mike McGarryMarch 14, 2022

The annual Rod Byers memorial match was played last Sunday in beautiful conditions at the home of OBs football, Roberts Park.

With Covid having its way a number of players from both teams were absent. This didn't detract from what was a great game of football to remember Rod and his contribution to both OBs and Roslyn Wakari Football Clubs. 

The school had an early lead, but was pegged back to 1-1 reasonably quickly. Another goal just before the break saw school take a 2-1 lead into the halftime break. In warm conditions and with young legs apart from 1 old timer, the school eventually won out 6-3 and lifted the trophy. 

The large crowd including members of Rods family enjoyed the occasion played in great spirit. A short presentation and afternoon tea followed. 

Our thanks to Mark Gribben from Roslyn for enabling us to continue a fine traditional fixture.
