The Rockingham club tonight will honour tonight the sixty or so players who have progressed thru to senior football for the club since 1988 by naming a 20 person squad to be enshired on a framed jumper.

The jumper has been donated by Laurie Fielding who has been a longtime sponsor and contributor to the Rockingham club since moving to WA from NZ in the 1980's. Each year since the club has started Laurie and Ngaire (now deceased) donates a trophy to the under 18's.
