The Return to Kogarah group (R2K) would like to express its delight at St.George Illawarra RLFC's decision to return to Kogarah Jubilee Oval for 50% of its home games in 2003.

The Return to Kogarah Group was formed in June 2000 to lobby the parties concerned in order for the team to return to its spiritual home.

R2K held numerous public events throughout this time including a Rally in 2000, an Information Night in March 2002 and most recently a benefit dinner held at Brighton Novotel two weeks ago. It has also organised supporter's delegations that met with club officials and ran candidates to the most recent St.George Leagues Club elections.

Notable personalities have backed a return to Jubilee at R2K events including Frank Hyde, Tony Squires, Mark Coyne, John Dowling, Dick Caine, Cherie Burton MP, Graeme Langlands, John Raper, Reg Gasnier as well as many others.

The R2K group has no immediate plans to abandon its activities but is keen to continue working with the relevant bodies to ensure the Dragons never leave the district again.

R2K would like to thank all those who supported the movement to date as well as Kogarah Council, the Club and most importantly the supporters. Had the fans not stubbornly refused to allow the issue to die, this day may never have come.

For further comment, please contact Adrian Wright on 0402 816 697.
