As we would look forward to the beginning of the 2024 sporting season we must reflect on how much a success 2023 was for the club. All five of the football teams made finals with the Men’s league, colts and U/16s making the grand final. Unfortunately we weren’t able to bring home any premiership's but the future is looking bright at Tigerland. With our membership numbers continuing to rise and the number of teams still increasing across all sports Railways are set to be  a very competitive and strong club to be involved with for many years to come.

With the 2024 season well under way for Cricket and Basketball, Railways have started the summer sports season in great style. The cricket club is in very good shape and the injection of youth into their senior side has had very positive results.  The Basketball club  continues to take huge steps forward with a  record number of teams participating across the competition covering all age groups. This takes a huge contribution from our volunteers to make this happen and we are so lucky to have such great volunteers giving up their time to make our Basketball club so successful.

The upcoming winter sports season is just around the corner and what an exciting season it’s going to be. The women’s football kicks off in early February and with new coaches  there is definitely an air of excitement and enthusiasm amongst the players.  The men’s football season is one that we look forward to with much enthusiasm and excitement.  With good leadership from our coaches and commitment from the players hopefully we can go one step further this year in all grades.

As everyone is probably aware our club room renovation’s are well underway and starting to take great shape. There are going to be some challenges throughout the season but we are confident that we will manage these challenges and have another great year on and off the field. I hope that  everyone can be patient and understanding and see the vision of our redevelopment as it is going to make Railways a better club for many years to come.

I truly believe that we have built such a strong culture over the many years with such strong family values that we are a organisation that is very inclusive and welcoming of everyone that comes through the doors of our great club. We will continue to respect our club, our teammates, our opposition and ourselves,  as we stay united together and strive for excellence to achieve the best results on and off the field.

The committee is unwavering in our vision and goals and we are excited about our future. We are proud of where we have come from and are focused on where we are going.
