Big congrats to Chertsey Rugby League Club on a great season! 🏉🍻

A tough semi-final against a sharp Cowboys side — and while it finished 24–20, it certainly doesn’t take away from the effort and commitment shown all season. Plenty to be proud of and some great footy along the way.

We at South Rakaia Hotel have been proud to support Chertsey RL over many seasons. It’s been great to be involved with the club and the wider rugby league community.

A big thank you to everyone who’s supported the Friday night Chertsey Rugby League Club meat raffles at our pub — your support genuinely helps and is always appreciated.

Well done on the season, enjoy the off-season, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.🍺👏
