Bali International Tens Rugby 2002

On behalf of Woollahra Colleagues RUFC, Sydney, and in particular those boys who were with me in Bali for the 10's, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to those Clubs and families who either lost or had players, friends and family injured on that terrible night. Colleagues were highly fortunate to not lose any players in Bali and while we count our blessings, we feel for all of you who have been affected in many ways by this cowardly act.

We also would like to thank the Bali 10's organisers for their tireless efforts following that Saturday night. Our thoughts are also with you for the enormous burden you have had to carry.

Colleagues would like to offer any form of assistance that we can to help victims of the Bali bombing so please do not hesitate to contact us to assist with any fund-raising activities or requirements for help.

Thank you all for not only showing the truly great camaraderie involved in playing rugby, but also the spirit that can exist between people of different nations.

Yours in rugby,
Lachlan Benson
Woollahra Colleagues RUFC
