Vale Drew Hall

It is with a sad heart we report the passing of Drew Hall (OR 87) on Wednesday 19th August 20156. Drew was fighting cancer for the past few years.

Drew was a classy 1st Grade 5/8th who represented Old Iggies in the early 1990’s. He was known for his soft hands, great passing game and deceptive footwork.

He leaves behind four great kids, Tom, Gidget, Tricksy and Evey who, along with us all, are devastated. He was truly one of life’s gentlemen.

A celebration of his life will be held
Monday 24th August – 3pm onwards
Hotel Canobolas Ballroom Orange
