In one final act to honour the man they called The Beast, Maroochydore Swans Rugby League Club have temporarily retired the number 8 jersey worn by Dale Best. Mr Best was farewelled on Sunday morning at the Swans clubhouse with hundreds of green and white faithful turning out to show their respects to the big man. He was remembered for his unwavering support to friends and family, his genuine kindness, his smile and for simply being a force of nature on the field. Mr Best s life was suddenly cut short while playing the game he loved above all others. The same game he started way back in under-9s.
Maroochydore Swans Rugby Union Club vice president Megan Constable said the new facilities would encourage and support even more women to get involved in rugby union.
âIn traditionally male-dominated codes like union, this type of progress is vital to attracting more female players, volunteers and supporters,â Ms Constable said.
âWomenâs rugby union is growing right across the Sunshine Coast and now both home and visiting players will have facilities to use before and after games thanks to the new change rooms.â.
The Swans first senior womenâs team launched in 2004 with just 10 players but the club now boasts a field of 65 women.
