Emma Ryall Has Died: It’s with deep regret and sadness to inform all our Stingrays Family and the general Rugby League Community of the passing of Emma Ryall this week.
The Ryall family has been a part of the Shellharbour Stingrays for many years with all Craig and Ange’s kids playing for the club, Along with Craig volunteering his time as a Sports Trainer, Coach, and Committee Member.
Stingrays Girls Under 12’s Gold League Tag team… A force to be reckoned with. This group of fiercely determined and competitive young girls came together each week and gave the game everything they had and more.
Emma Ryall was very much a part of this. Her skills and dedication to the game and the team shone through the week in, week out. Whether it was setting up a try, scoring a try, or converting a try, Emma was a team player who didn’t go unnoticed. The muddy, soggy, wet conditions of a recent game against Shellharbour Sharks which saw yet another win for the girls, was certainly a memorable one for our team. There was a smile on Emma’s face from ear to ear as she and the girls slid in the mud and covered each other from head to toe and it was very amusing to watch.
As her team members and friends, we were all deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Emma. She certainly holds a special place in all of our hearts and will be remembered forever.
