Congratulations to Ashley Riley who was a recipient of a SSC service award for her contribution to basketball at Oxford Area School.

Ashley has given  six years' of service as a referee and coach to the Year 5-8 basketball plus 3 years as the Floor Controller in the Oxford Area School gym for the North Canterbury Basketball Association. She is currently coaching the top Year 8 team. 

Congratulations Ashley, a deserving recipient of this award.
