Saturday's game against the Raggies starts at 1.45pm.
This week Charlie Jordan reached his 100 game milestone for the ROCFC. "Fridge" made his debut for ROCS in 2012, playing 2 games whilst still at school. A tough and fearless footballer, he always gives 100% whether it be on the training track or in a game. He has worked hard at consolidating his spot in the A's, and last season was an important member of the Div 1 premiership team. In 2015 he had also been part of the Reserves premiership win.
This Saturday will be a Motor Neurone Disease Awareness Day to raise funds for research into this terrible disease and to support Chris Grigg, a legendary Athelstone footballer and father of ROCs player Ryan.
