The Parramatta Eels celebrated the end of the 2013 season with a Presentation Evening at the beautiful Rosehill Gardens Racecourse.
Tossing aside the Blue and Gold uniform for the evening, the players dressed to the impress in their finest black tie attire, as they came together to honour award winners, first grade debutants and the players who are departing the club.
Accompanied with costumed performers and fire twirlers, the Eels were also entertained by the magical talents of Matt Hollywood, and the Funky Doo Daas.
The MC for the night, Andrew Voss, ran the proceedings, honouring our 10 first grade debutants, along with the departing players, with a framed jersey presented to each of the boys.
After reflecting on the highlights of the season and an address from Eels Chairman Steve Sharp, the time had come to present the awards.
