On behalf of the Executive Committee, all Members & players of the Blackwood Football Club, I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to Ruth Work for a tireless 18 years of service as Trainer & Head Trainer at the Club.

Ruth informed the Executive Committee at the Annual General Meeting that she is hanging up the “whites”. I know personally the club has been so very fortunate to have her as part of the institution for so many years & she will be sorely missed by all.

For Peter, Andrew, Nick, Sam and Simon & their families I know they are so very proud of Ruth & what commitment she has given to the Woods & they will now be able to spend all the quality time with her that they can, which will be very special indeed.

Most things (sadly) come to an end, but I know Ruth’s support for the club will still be there & we will see her around from time to time I’m sure, but it will be for all the players she has treated over the years, that hold her in the highest regard for skills & compassion that will certainly reflect on how wonderful Ruth was. Most of all it will be the current group of players that will miss her more than anything as she will be very hard to replace!

So from the bottom of our hearts we wish Ruth & the extended Work family the very best time ahead & we cannot thank her enough for what she has done for our great club, the HFL & wider community.

Very best regards,

David Richardson

President

Blackwood Football Club
