WHAT’S ON?
Blue Ribbon Cup
This Thursday Night against the Hawks we play for the 27th annual Blue Ribbon Cup, paying tribute to all the Victoria Police members who have fallen in the line of duty and acknowledging those who have served, and continue to serve.
Established in 1999, The Blue-Ribbon Cup commemorates the life and service of Victoria Police officers Sergeant Gary Silk, and Senior Constable Rodney Miller who were killed in the line of duty at Moorabbin on the 16th of August 1998.
At the conclusion of the game there will be a short presentation where players from each team will receive a commemorative Blue Ribbon Medal. One player from each club (voted as best on) will also be awarded with the SilkMiller Memorial Medal. Following this, the winning team will be presented with the Blue Ribbon Cup.
