At the 2011 senior division presentations, the club awarded retiring senior club captain David Collins with the club's first ever Player Life Membership.

In a entertaining tribute to David, Warren Gaunt made the surpise announcement at the conclusion of the tribute, leaving "Collo" absolutely "Gobsmacked" and the subject of a rupturous standing ovation. A truly wonderful, emotional and historic moment in our club's young history.

Below are some images of the presentation and some facts about Collo's career.
