Vale Kevin Stanford OAM S
urf Life Saving Central Coast (SLSCC) President, Mr Stuart Harvey, has reflected on the life of Surf Life Saving Australia Life Member and local legend, Mr Kevin Stanford OAM, who passed away on May 27. “It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Kevin Stanford,” Mr Harvey said. “The Shelly Beach, Central Coast Branch, and Surf Life Saving Australia Life Member, provided outstanding contribution to Surf Life Saving over 70 years, and he will be sadly missed. “Kevin joined the movement in 1946, obtaining his Bronze Medallion in 1947 with the South Curl Curl SLSC, where he later held positions including Assistant Secretary, Vice Captain, Club Captain and Instructor. “He was also a surf boat rower, winning silver medals in the A Division at
the NSW and Australian Championships, and was a member of the clubs senior R&R and march past teams. “He was a founding member of the North Entrance SLSC in 197778, and joined his beloved Shelly Beach SLSC in 1978, where he became a Life Member in 1985. “At Shelly Beach SLSC he held the positions of President (1986-1993), Secretary, Registrar and Chief Instructor, and continued to train and assess training courses,
compete, coach and officiate in Surf Sports competitions,” Mr Harvey said. “Kevin was also a highly regarded Surf Sports Official throughout Australia. “He was a key official locally and officiated at State, Australian and World Championships, including being a member of the Australian Delegation at World Championships in Vancouver, Canada, Southport, Australia, Lubeck, Germany, England and Wales. “He was awarded the Surf Life Saving Australia National Medal in 2005, and in 2017, was awarded his Surf Life Saving Australia 70 Years’ Long Service Medal, the only Surf Life Saver from the Central Coast to achieve this honour. “SLSCC offers our deepest sympathy to Kevin’s immediate and extended family,” Mr Harvey said.

Daniel Lawson has played the most grade games for the Roos
W
yong Roos’ veteran player, Daniel Lawson, played his 400th game for the Roos in May.
“Lawson arrived at Wyong from Ourimbah as a teenager in the early ‘90’s, and it was only fitting that he played his 400th grade game for the Roos against the Magpies,” said Wyong Roo’s Intrust Super Premiership Coach, Mr Rip Taylor. Lawson started with Wyong as a flying winger, but in recent seasons has found himself in the
middle of the park, doing battle with the big boys. Lawson is one of the few players still running around whose career has spanned the Club’s pre and post Newcastle Tooheys Cup period (2003-2012). “Whilst his record shows only one try since Season 2014, for Lawson, it was about performance, pride in the jumper, looking after your team mates and enjoying every moment,” Mr Taylor said. “So here is Danny, 400 games and 1,600 penalties down the track,

a handful of premierships in hand, looking a little worse for wear but with plenty of great footy memories, still out there banging away. “Congrats Lawso on becoming a 400 game player with Wyong Roos. “No one has played more grade games for the Club, and that is an achievement which must be acknowledged, and is certainly something in which you and your family can take great pride,” Mr Taylor said.
