Fantastic Support for the Burns Family

Many  thanks to all the local businesses and people in the Geelong community who have given such great support to the Burns family following the passing of Ricky Burns, Life Member of Geelong Hockey Association and Corio Hockey Club.

The Ricky Burns Testimonial hockey match was originally scheduled to be played in May, but unfortunately COVID restrictions forced the cancellation of the event on two occasions. The match was finally able to be played on July 10, with a large crowd in attendance to pay their respects to Ricky and to reminisce on their memories of playing with and against him.
