This Sunday see’s our annual past vs present game at Manly Oval, a game named after the late Fiona Lyon.
Fiona passed away last year after a tough battle with breast cancer, so it was only appropriate to name this game in her honour. It will be an emotional day, but one of celebration as well. It is also an opportunity to promote our Pink Stumps day for the McGrath Foundation and raise some money for cancer. After Fiona’s struggles with dreaded disease, especially cancer, it is an apt day to promote such a worthy cause.
