Couple’s 30 years of support for local basketball honored 

For about 30 years, Verna and David Rumbelow have been supporting Murray Bridge Basketball Association. 

And now,their support and dedication has been honored, with life membership. They have been attending the Murray Bridge Basketball Association stadium since their son, Greg, started playing in the summer of 1972 - and have not missed a season. Verna and David have supported their own four children, two sons- in-law, and eight grand-children who have all played,or are still playing, in the basketball Association.

 In addition, they have helped and collecting payments at the door.

David Rumbelow also helped out with maintenance work around the stadium, and has also tried his hand at umpiring. 

In addition, both have done their fair share of scoring and time- keeping whenever required, and an association spokesperson said they would be the first to put up their hands to transport players to different basketball games and carnivals out of the town area. 

Other activities include being active fundraisers for the Rebels Basketball Club, along with selling raffle tickets for the association, and they still attend the stadium.
