Hornsby Touch Association Becomes NRMA Everyday Sporting Legend

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 28 January 2010

The Hornsby Touch Football Association has 5,000 reasons to celebrate the New Year as one of the lucky winners of the 2009 NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program.

NRMA Motoring & Services and Rebel Sport teamed up for the first time last year to support sport in NSW and ACT communities with up to $150,000 in Rebel Sport gift cards up for grabs.

Rugby League legend and NRMA Director Geoff Toovey said the NRMA was flooded with entries from primary and secondary schools, sports teams and individuals wanting their chance to receive a $10,000, $5,000 or $500 Rebel Sport gift card.

"Hornsby Touch Association was one of fifteen winners throughout NSW and the ACT to receive a $5,000 Rebel Sport gift card," Mr Toovey said.

"The club's online profile page at www.nrmalegends.com.au and the comments from its 37 supporters received during the competition showed a strong and positive team spirit.

"Hornsby Touch is exactly the kind of sporting group the NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program aims to help."

The association's online entry said the all of their games were played at one location allowing regular social interaction which strengthened local community ties. The association also said the Rebel Sport gift card would help them to get much needed equipment for the day-to-day running of competitions and prizes for fundraising activities.

In the association's online blog one of the supporters, Inaki, said Hornsby Touch had the best value sports competition in the district for men, women, boys and girls. Inaki said it was a rare thing in sport when the whole family could play together.

Mr Toovey said he knew from experience that it takes dedication, team work and support from the community around you to be successful in your sporting dreams.

The first ever NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program has been well received with a host of quality stories, photos and video footage submitted to support a variety of sporting goals from NSW and ACT communities.

Rebel Sport is part of the NRMA's More4Members rewards program which gives Members access to a vast range of instant discounts and benefits.
