Roosters celebrate successful season
THE Atherton Roosters celebrated a successful season and their players at their presentation night last Friday evening.
The Roosters were a force to be reckoned with in the 2025 FNQRL season, with all three senior grades making it to the preliminary finals and the Under 19s claiming the minor premiership.
The Roosters Women also celebrated their successful season after claiming the premiership trophy in an emphatic Grand Final against the Yarrabah Seahawks earlier in the year.
A Grade captain James Clark rounded out his strong season by winning the Player of the Year award, while young talents Jackson Clark and Sawyer Nehow were named joint winners of the Under 19 Player of the Year trophy.
