Milestones:
Paul Norris to play his 300th game
Paul "Chuck" Norris is set to reach the 300 games milestone when the footy returns from lockdown.
The D's play Flinders Park 07/08/21 @ 12:15pm away.
Paul started his football with the St. Joseph's Hectorville Year 4/5's. He attended Rostrevor College in 1995-1999, and played 8A's and 9A's. He missed Year 10 through injury, and returned to play 2nd XVIII's in his last 2 years at the College.
In 2000 Paul had a season with the Norwood Under 19's, before moving to ROCS in 2001. The 39 year-old has since played at A, B, C and D grade levels. Chuck was coached in the A's by Tim Hart and Matthew Dawes, and has been an important part of C Grade premierships in 2004 and 2013. In 2019 he captained the club's D Grade. Paul becomes only the 3rd ROCS player to reach the 300 game mark, with only Brian Carey (300) and Simon Emanuele (370) having reached the milestone earlier.
His brother Glenn (54 games) has played alongside Paul at ROCS in recent years, Their father Keith, is Steve Edwards' Team Manager. With the continued support of his lovely wife Mai and three year-old William James, Chuck has deservedly reached the magical 300.
Congratulations Chuck from everyone at ROCERLAND
