Rhinos unveil new $190,000<br />

lighting system<br />

By CHRIS KARAS<br />

HOLY Cross Rhinos Junior Rugby League Club officially<br />

opened their newly installed lighting system at Brother<br />

Benedict Olsen Oval Ryde last week during a special Friday<br />

Night Lights Mini League event.<br />

A dedication plaque<br />

on one of the poles<br />

was unveiled with directors<br />

from Ryde<br />

Eastwood Leagues<br />

Club - the main financial<br />

contributors to<br />

the project - in attendance.<br />

directors Jack King,<br />

Paul Moujalli, General<br />

Manager Chris Mc-<br />

Carthy, John O’Brien,<br />

Malcolm Chapple,<br />

president Jim McClymont,<br />

Balmain Junior<br />

League Operations<br />

Manager Jennie Webster<br />

along with Rhinos’<br />

Mini League juniors.<br />

Wests Tigers’ stars<br />

Luke Brooks and Esan<br />

Marsters - two Holy<br />

Cross College Ryde<br />

products - lent their<br />

support on the night<br />

by providing tips to<br />

participating players<br />

in the U/9 Mini League<br />

fixtures at half time<br />

and presenting the<br />

game ball to the player<br />

of each match.<br />

Ryde Eastwood<br />

Leagues Club donated<br />

$90,000 towards<br />

the Rhinos’ $190,000<br />

floodlight project with<br />

Lane Cove MP Anthony<br />

Roberts also presenting<br />

the club with<br />

a $30,000 Community<br />

Building Partnership<br />

grant.<br />

Rhinos’ Senior Vice<br />

President Brad Wilson<br />

thanked the Ryde<br />

Eastwood Leagues<br />

Cluh and Mr Roberts<br />

for their significant<br />

contributions which<br />

he said will enable<br />

the Holy Cross teams<br />

to train under floodlights.<br />

“We have 250 players<br />

who will be able<br />

to train here at night<br />

and raising this money<br />

would have been<br />

very difficult for us,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I especially acknowledge<br />

the support<br />

we have from<br />

the Ryde Eastwood<br />

Leagues Club and<br />

from other strong supporters<br />

in our community.”<br />
