Proceeds raised will go to legacy charged with the task of caring for the widows and dependants of servicemen lost in conflict, ‘The Grub Club Education Fund’ raising money to help build a school in East Timor and supply resources to schools in Afghanistan and locally to help the local lads in Junior Rugby League.

Last year was a close hard fought match with former hometown boys currently serving in the Army against their old club Bellingen and it is hoped they will be returning to settle some old scores in 2010.

Supporters should expect a carnival atmosphere with junior and reserve matches before the main event and raffles and auctions throughout. The Army recruiting van will be present on the day so anyone out there interested in an exciting career come along and see what job opportunities there are available. Following the main game a function will be held at the Diggers Tavern.

All are encouraged to come along and support the Matthew Locke Memorial Rugby League Charity Match enriching many lives. Please mark this in your diary as an event not to miss!
