GLRU Youth Day Celebrations

June 16 – The Golden Lions Rugby Union held Youth Day celebrations on Thursday, 16 June 2011 at the Turffontein Race Course in Johannesburg.

Lions supporters, former legendary players and a few of the MTN Lions players attended the day which kicked off with some entertainment by singer Jaco Dennis, followed by a captivating speech by Mr. Junior Ramovha from Tshisima Sports. Ramovha was involved in June 16, 1976 and shared his experiences from the day.

After the formalities, attendees were treated to a scrumptious buffet lunch before heading outside to place some bets and enjoy the horse racing. An auction followed later in the afternoon where much sport and rugby memorabilia was sold.

The day was hugely successful and a very big thank you is extended to all who were involved in the planning and coordinating of the GLRU’s 2011 Youth Day celebrations.

All proceeds from the day will be donated to the Abraham Kriel Children’s Home to help and support the youth of today.
