Saturday’s Presidents lunch paid tribute to 3 Old Xaverian players who before retiring at the end of last year contributed greatly to the club for many, many years.

Ted Woodruff, Tim Fleming, and Tim Clarke were joined by family and friends in what was the biggest lunch we have ever had at the club. An emotional Simon Lethlean spoke of his respect for each, first as a team mate, and then as a coach, and recalled some of his fonder memories of their time at the club.

After the meal club legend Michael Blood took to the microphone and interviewed each of the champions and Simon Hunt presented them with framed photos.  

Ted Woodruff – 231 games from 1995 to 2009, and senior premierships in 1998, 1999 and 2007.  Tim Clarke – 127 games from 2001 to 2009, with senior premierships in 2005, 2007, and 2009. Tim Fleming – 143 games from 1997 to 2000 and then 2006 and 2009, and senior premierships in 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2009 (captain in 2009).
