For those that couldn’t be at the ground today I just wanted to let you know how special the pre match tribute was. The announcer told the story of Beau’s battle and a video was played on the big screen. I think it may have been Beau’s Mum and brother that then brought the game ball out onto the field.
The crowd spontaneously burst into solid applause for a full couple of minutes. It was like a big collective hug towards the family and I’m not ashamed to say that my wife and I both shed a tear. It was one of the most incredible reactions I have ever seen and I hope Beau loved it and his family took some comfort from it.
Great work Manly family.
The win was all gravy after that.
