The Dwellingup Razorbacks Football Club teams are now sporting new guernseys featuring an Aboriginal design.
Designed by Roderick Collard Snr, a local in the Boddington to Pinjarra Hotham River Country area and father to the team’s assistant coach, the guernsey’s celebrate the Club’s Aboriginal players past and present and acknowledge Dwellingup’s Aboriginal history.
The design represents footy, marron, bushes and the river that runs through the region, the features that Roderick holds dear.
Dwellingup Razorbacks Secretary Joanne Moore said its Aboriginal players have been a significant part of the Club for many years and it was important for the Club that their contribution be acknowledged.
“Last year Nathan Morrison one of the Club’s Aboriginal players, celebrated his life membership with his 150th game and this year Sean McMeekin (pictured front, centre) celebrated his 150th game,” Ms. Moore said.
The production of the guernseys was made possible by Alcoa and the Shire of Murray through the Alcoa Dwellingup Community Assistance Scheme.
Shire President Cr. David Bolt said the Scheme is one of several funds available through the Shire that assist community groups to build community capacity and resilience and enhance residents’ quality of life.
“The Shire is a proud supporter of this project and I am sure the wider community agree, the team look sensational in their new shirts,” Cr. Bolt said.
