Ag College officials handed over the cheque last week as a result of their charity fundraiser earlier in the year.

Ag College made specific guernseys for the day and auctioned them off to raise funds.

Ag College official Nicholas Hogan said the club was thrilled to be able to donate $16,041 to such a good cause.

“Every year we select a charity to donate these raised funds too and this year was Black Dog,” Hogan said.

“We chose this charity because of the good work it is doing within the mental health field especially in rural communities.

“Most of our club is made up of people from rural areas and most have seen what mental can do to a person.

“It is a close thing to many of our players heart and thought it was the least we could do.”
