On Saturday 19 October, Hope Vale United rugby team represented its community with pride at the Gordonvale Indigenous Rugby League Carnival. Sponsored by the Hope Vale Foundation, the team exceeded expectations, particularly considering that some players hadn’t been on the field in a while.
“The result of the weekend was better than hoped for,” shared Chastyn Bowen, Team Organiser and Coach. “This year, I wasn’t focused on winning. My goal was to get all the boys together in one team for our community to get behind.”
The Hope Vale Foundation is looking forward to the opportunity of supporting the team again next year.
