Deloraine Football Club to host MND Terry's Match in NTFA premier

The Roos are hosting 'Terry's Match', their second annual Big Freeze event in honour of much-loved head trainer Terry Roles who passed away from motor neurone disease (MND) in 2021.

It comes after the success of last year which also saw about 20 people take the plunge to raise money and awareness for the cause.

Deloraine takes on South Launceston in NTFA round 18 with the senior match starting at 2.30pm.

But fans will want to be there early as the Big Freeze sliding starts 2pm.

Tracey said the plan was to bring the event back year-after-year.

Part of the funding will go towards Terry's Shed which is a Launceston storage facility - which the Roles family set up - full of MND-specific medical equipment.

Tracey said the plunge pool had a rural theme with hay bales a feature.

This year the plungers include players and community members. Those wishing to donate can follow this link.

MND beanies will be sold on the day and there will also be donation tins.
