🩷 DO IT FOR ALI 🩷
This weekend, the Southlakes Roosters will come together to honour the life of our beautiful teammate, Alisha (Ali).
While Ali played with our Under 12WT team during the 2026 season, she was also very much a part of our Under 14WT family, spending the entire pre-season training alongside them before moving into the Under 12s to continue developing her skills as she began her rugby league journey.
Over the past week, Ali's Under 12WT teammates have done a beautiful job of remembering their friend. This weekend, our wider Roosters family will have the opportunity to stand beside them as we pay tribute to a much-loved member of our Club.
We have also extended an invitation to our fellow Hunter Junior Rugby League Under 12WT teams to honour Ali at their games this weekend.
Some ideas include:
💗 Wearing a pink ribbon
💗 Wearing three plaits or braids, in recognition of Ali's playing number, 3
💗 Wearing a wristband with
💗 Observing a minute silence before your match, where scheduling permits.
Here at Southlakes, our players will also honour Ali in several special ways throughout the day.
We know this will be an emotional day for many. Support will be available at our home ground for any player, parent, carer, volunteer or supporter who may need it.
Thank you to everyone who has wrapped their arms around Ali's family, her teammates and our Club over the past week. Your compassion has reminded us of what the rugby league community is all about.
Once a Rooster, always a Rooster 🐓
Forever our teammate. Forever part of our family 🩷
