Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—Hayden Gavin has made history at Southern Beaches Rugby Club, becoming the first player in the club's history to play 200 first grade games. His milestone was reached during a recent match against Hamilton, marking a proud and memorable moment for both Hayden and the entire club community. At 35 years old, Hayden is already one of the most decorated players in the club's history. A dedicated fireman and a fierce competitor, he was the first to reach 150 games in the top grade and is now closing in on the remarkable milestone of 300 games across all levels. Hayden began his journey with Southern Beaches more than 15 years ago and has become a cornerstone of the club ever since. His long-standing commitment is fuelled by a deep sense of mateship and a strong connection to the club's community and values. Congratulations to Hayden on this extraordinary achievement. His loyalty, leadership and passion for the game are an inspiration to teammates, supporters and the wider rugby community. The legacy he is building at Southern Beaches is something truly special.
