Another moving tribute to Richard Newman

I have watched my boys, Bear, Angus and Hugo play football year after year on most ovals in South Australia and I can honestly say the Walkerville Under 15's come back in the 4th quarter last Sunday was one of the best and most exciting passages of play I have ever witnessed.

The boys drew emormous inspiration from Richard Newman 's symbolic R drawn on their hand by their coach Paul and they played with guts, courage and the true Walkerville spirit. It was one of the 'special' days when everything came together in the end for the boys. It will be remembered by all who had the privilege to watch their determination and strength they drew from each other.

We all felt that we were playing with '19' on the field- and the boys would not yield. It was magical football afternoon and Richard would have just loved it and would have been so proud of his "boys".

Yours sincerely So Laidlaw
