TEA Gardens Soccer Club would like to acknowledge Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Lions Club for their support this year. Our local Lions club approached us earlier this year with a terrific offer of support, being a weekly “sportsmanship” $20 Rebel Sports Voucher as well as a generous donation and taking on our game day BBQ not once but twice!
Some of our recipients so far this year have been:
– Rose Wolfenden.
Congratulations Rose, you have exhibited huge dedication and you lead by example. Jason Keeble, TGSC President said “Roses’ dedication to her sport, her positive attitude and quiet encouragement of others make he a valued teammate and a great role model, she is a natural choice for the Lions Club award”
Jackson Brookhouse, a Hammerhead Sharks player who, in the true spirit of the game won the ball in a strong tackle, but as he went to move forward with the ball, he noticed his opponent appeared to be injured. He stopped play and without hesitation offered assistance and made sure the player was okay before turning back to the ball and continuing with the game! Then, in the second half Jackson was asked to be goalkeeper, where “Jackson made several fantastic saves all the while encouraging his team mates loudly from his vantage point” Alissa Barker TGSC Secretary explained after the game.
Round 8 recipients was Tommy Howard, known as the ultimate all-rounder with a great team spirit and leadership qualities he is constantly chatting to his team mates, encouraging everyone on the field and occasionally showing off some “trademark” sneaky maneuvers with style and a smile! A true team player, Tommy always puts others first encouraging them to try hard but most of all enjoy the game. Keep them on their toes Tommy and congratulations!
More recipients to come, stay tuned!
