A Message From Our President

2019 brings yet another season, a season of blood sweat tears, of conversions into gale force southerly’s.
the magical flick pass that leaves the crowd in disbelief &
the chip and chase on the first tackle that has steam coming out the coaches ears…
Season 2019 with the Cromer kingfishers will be a cracker, the club will be fielding teams from U6’s to A-GRADE , with the 13’s & 14’s defending their titles.
The Cromer Kingfishers will again have girls’ teams in the U13’s TAG & U14s, U16s & U18s.
The Girls Competition I have to say I am so excited to see them run around again after last year’s debut for having Women’s Rugby League at the club, the games were sensational & I encourage you all to get down & watch a game & support the girls along with the boys sides.
Adding to the excitement of the start of season is our hallowed home ground at St Matts if fully resurfaced & brand spanking new! Unbelievable! Cannot wait & this will add to 2019 Season success!
Throw in Season 2019 being our 50TH Season in existence & all the great things we have planned for that, it really is going to be something special & most importantly fun.
Thank you to all returning players & a big welcome to new players, if you have a mate who was thinking of playing or you yourself reading this, there is still time to register online at playnrl.com & you would be most welcome in any age group, come on down!

Three players that the club would like to thank to give special mention to already for outstanding achievements in the greatest game of all, Rugby League, are as follows:

OSCAR PALIN – PICKED MANLY Sea Eagles HAROLD MATTHEWS 2019 DARCY HOY- PICKED WEST TIGERS SG BALL CUP 2019
KANE MCQUIGGIN – PICKED WEST TIGERS NEW SOUTH WALES CUP TEAM 2019
Simply wonderful, well done boys, the club is extremely proud of you.
ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, THE COMMITTEE PAST AND PRESENT, YOUR TEAM MATES AND COACHES
WE WISH ALL THREE OF YOU THE VERY BEST ON THEIR CONTINUED RUGBY LEAGUE JOURNEY ON THE NEXT LEVEL.

Also a mention to our sponsors both new & continuing, we could not do this without you, from the small business’ of players families to the bigger clubs & corporates, thank you, your support is truly appreciated & every cent is put into the club to provide a fun, safe, enjoyable experience for the boys, girls, young women & men, learning & playing Rugby League on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney. Thank You.

TO THE 2019 PLAYERS REPRESENTING THE MIGHTY KINGFISHERS I SAY THIS, “PLAY HARD & PLAY FAIR, MY TIP IS ALWAYS KICK IT TO WHERE THE SEAGULLS ARE, BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE NOT!”
