Aaron Boone 200th club game
Reserves Captain Aaron Boone will celebrate his 200th club game against Templestowe on June 15th and in doing so will become the 73rd Life Member of the Ringwood Football & Netball Club.
A true great of our club, Booney has given his heart and soul to Ringwood for many years. A club champion on and off the field, Booney is a true culture setter for our club and is beloved by all at Ringwood.
Finishing runner up in the reserves best and fairest last season, Booney is still playing great footy and is a key member of our current reserves team.
A dedicated servant of our club, we’re looking forward to celebrating Booney’s incredible achievement in the rooms after the senior game.
The game will begin at 12:30pm with a service after the senior game from 6:00pm to bestow Booney’s Life Membership. All supporters are encouraged and welcomed
Please join us for the game and for the post-game service to celebrate a champion of our club!

In 2023, Ringwood stood out in Victoria for its unique and positive road safety initiatives, thanks to the exceptional efforts of Olivia Ashcroft. Olivia’s work was recognised by TAC and AFL Vic as the best in the state, leading to the clubs prominent role in this year's campaign launch, check out the videos and post at the below links.

LEUKAEMIA FOUNDATION
Club champion and current Women’s coach, Zoe Cant, is raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation and will be shaving her head for the cause.
With Zoe being a massive contributor to the establishment of the Women’s program and serving on the committee for the broader club, it’s a fantastic opportunity to show some appreciation and acknowledgement for her services through any donation, big or small
We couldn’t be prouder to call you a Redback Zoe, and commend you on the action you’re taking for an amazing cause!
Donations can be made through this link:

Hear more from Zoe -
Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. There are 140,000 families facing blood cancer right now, and it takes the lives of 16 Australians every day. These numbers are set to double by 2035.
I’m shaving my head and raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to give Australians facing blood cancer life-changing practical and emotional support and to fund critical research.
Please make a donation! Any amount – big or small – will make a real difference.
If shaving my head means I can help at least one person, it's the easiest decision I've ever made
