Cricketers past and present, alongside supporters and friends of the Rovers United Bruck Cricket Club are invited to a special reunion dinner on Saturday, October 11, celebrating decades of local cricket history.
The evening marks 10 years of Rovers United Bruck Cricket Club, and will strongly honour the stories of four proud clubs – Rovers, United, Rovers United and Bruck.
Across multiple mergers, these clubs are now as one, and the evening will celebrate a decade since the successful merger of Rovers United and Bruck in 2015.
It will be a chance for players and long-time supporters to reminisce on their part of the club.
In all, the clubs have won a combined 34 Wangaratta & District Cricket Association A Grade crowns, including three of the last four as Rovers United Bruck.
All with memories and involvement in the clubs are invited to the Town & Country Tavern on the evening of October 11 from 7pm.
Throughout the night, hosts will highlight each chapter of the club’s history, from the early Rovers and United days to the formation of Rovers United and the present-day RUBCC.
Current players will also be in attendance, having just come from the field after their round one clashes.
“Marking 10 years of our combined clubs is something well worth celebrating, and we’re looking forward to doing so with all our members past and present,” RUBCC president Jacob Schonafinger said.
“This is something the club has been working on for some time, and it’s going to be a great chance for everyone to mingle, whether you played in the 1980s or remain involved in the club today.
“Everybody is welcome, and it’s an evening the club is tremendously excited about.”
Displays of historical images, honour boards, and memorabilia will be presented at the function, with a photographer also on hand to capture memories of the evening.
Raffles and giveaways will take place, while there will also be the opportunity to purchase present-day club merchandise.
RSVPs are encouraged to be sent to Jacob (0432 271 287) or Jeremy (0407 867 608).
