The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club has recognised two of its best, with hard working volunteers Saskia Dutch and Daniel Josifovski awarded the club’s highest off-field accolade.

Dutch and Josifovski were honoured as the joint Jindabyne Rugby Union Club’s persons of the year. Josifovski, senior vice-president, and Dutch, publicity officer, were praised by the club’s president, Matt Want.

“Throughout the 2025 season, we have witnessed incredible growth in the senior women’s team while also rebuilding the men’s side,” Want said.

“This year more than ever, our senior squads showed true unity, training together, travelling together, and supporting one another both on and off the field.

“It is only fitting that for 2025, the club person of the year award recognises not one, but two outstanding individuals.”

At the club’s recent presentation night, Want made special mention of the duo’s sustained efforts across the season.

“Both recipients have gone above and beyond the call of duty, working tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to make sure that every role within the club is supported and every game day is one to remember,” Want said.

“They have consistently put others first, put the club first, and put rugby first.”

Other volunteers nominated for the prestigious club person of the year were: Noel Harper, Deon Becker, Montana Hawkins, Rhianna Burke, Bill Euston, Patrick Killin, Nicole Raine, and Millie Tripet.
