News Melbourne fundraiser event Collingwood Rotary Fair Play a great success

Fair Play was first launched in March 2007 and to have reached 17 tournaments is something everyone at HFCA is proud of.

Well done to all involved and thanks for having us again. It’s a pleasure working with all of you. You have done such a great job for an over and above period of time. Looking forward to the next Fair Play.

Fabulous day for 2021 Fair Play.  Some extremely talented players and many up and coming champions playing fairly and respectfully in all games.  Great to see our Melbourne communities coming together and recognising our key Australian sponsors for their ongoing support. Congratulations to Fitzroy Lions for winning the 17th Fair Play tournament!
