Marist Rugby Canberra

Joe Roff

The greatest testament to my time playing rugby at Marist is that my closest friends are still the same men that once pulled on the blue and blue as we took to the field together. The pride of receiving a first XV jersey and running through the tunnel onto number 1 is a cherished memory. We balanced our education with hard work on the field and good times off the field, building a set of values through shared experience that I will always be grateful for.

My Marist jerseys sit proudly amongst the most important I own.
