Parkwood Sharks Rugby League Club
is at Parkwood Sharks Rugby League Club.
1 week ago
š¦ PARKWOOD SHARKS ā WE DID IT.![]()
I donāt really know how else to describe this past week other than HELL WEEK.![]()
Because sometimes the preparation is every bit as hard, exhausting and relentless as the event itself.![]()
It started Tuesday, with those who showed up to our Club meeting to hear the plan, understand the why and get their heads around what we were about to take on.![]()
Then came Thursday night.![]()
The working bee. The cleaning. The clearing. The lifting. The sorting. The setting up. The jobs that nobody sees when they arrive on game day ā but without them, game day simply doesnāt happen.![]()
Then Friday night rolled around.![]()
And then Saturday.![]()
All. Day. Saturday.![]()
And somehow, after all of that⦠Saturday night too.![]()
Our goal for this finals series was pretty simple: we wanted Parkwood Sharks to SHINE.![]()
We wanted every person who walked through our gates to feel our Sharkies culture.![]()
We wanted people to feel welcomed.![]()
We wanted our grounds to be safe.![]()
We wanted our clubhouse to look like the beautiful home we know she is.![]()
And we wanted everyone who came through Parkwood to enjoy some bloody good, high-calibre finals footy.![]()
And Sharkies⦠WE DID IT.![]()
Our beautiful clubhouse was ready and she was GLEAMING.![]()
There were orange vests for days across those fields.![]()
There were Sharkies proudly wearing our colours, welcoming people through the gates.![]()
There were volunteers noticing the visitor who looked a little lost and asking, āCan I help you?ā![]()
There were people picking up rubbish, filling fridges, wiping tables, working the canteen, manning gates, checking sheds, running sidelines, helping officials, keeping people safe and doing a thousand little things nobody will ever know happened.![]()
And yes, there were hiccups. Of course there were.![]()
But what our visitors saw was a CLUB THAT SHOWED UP.![]()
And when the eyes were heavy from exhaustionā¦![]()
When the heads and necks were sore from me constantly saying āEYES UP! HEADS ON A SWIVEL!ā š![]()
When the feet were pounding and swollen from roaming those fieldsā¦![]()
When the bodies were overheating in that canteenā¦![]()
When you were running purely on caffeine, adrenaline and Sharkies prideā¦![]()
I hope you stopped for just one second and realised what we were achieving together.![]()
Because the feedback from this weekend has been astounding.![]()
The messages weāve received are only a small snippet. They donāt include the phone calls, the conversations, the comments made in passing or the people who simply stopped to tell us how impressed they were.![]()
And every single one of those compliments belongs to YOU.![]()
To every person who gave us an hour.![]()
To every person who gave us a night.![]()
To those who gave us their entire weekend.![]()
To the people who werenāt asked but saw something that needed doing and just did it.![]()
To those who were absolutely exhausted but stayed for one more job.![]()
Thank you.![]()
I donāt know the exact old saying⦠because this week proved something slightly different:![]()
MANY HANDS DIDNāT MAKE LIGHT WORK.![]()
It was still blimmen hard work. š![]()
But many hands made the impossible possible.![]()
And together, we pulled it off.![]()
So sit back for a minute and let yourself be proud.![]()
WE PREPARED.
WE SHOWED UP.
WE SHONE.![]()
Our Club is absolutely glowing right now.![]()
And every single one of you who gave your time Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday put a little bit of that shine there.![]()
We can all bleed blue together knowing that when Parkwood Sharks needed its peopleā¦![]()
OUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP.![]()
Be proud, Sharkies.![]()
WE DID IT. WE ACTUALLY DID IT. š¦šš¤š¤![]()
