IN BRYSON’S MEMORY<br />
The Bryson Anderson Memorial<br />
Shield Rugby League Match was held<br />
at Ballina Seagulls Rugby League<br />
ground on Sunday 24 March.<br />
Following an initial game of touch<br />
football to start the day, a Rugby<br />
League game was played between<br />
Richmond and Tweed Byron LACs.<br />
Both games were held in honour<br />
of deceased officer Det Insp Bryson<br />
Anderson VA and included players<br />
from Northern Region and FSG<br />
Lismore Crime Scene.<br />
Supt Stuart Wilkins, Commander,<br />
Tweed Byron LAC said the event was<br />
a huge success.<br />
“It was a fantastic day with great<br />
camaraderie,” Supt Wilkins said.<br />
“It was wonderful to see everyone<br />
coming together – with a great crowd<br />
of hundreds that showed up to lend<br />
their support and raise funds for<br />
Bryson’s family and to support the<br />
players from both sides.<br />
“The games were played in the<br />
right spirit, with a lot of fun and<br />
enthusiasm for such a worthwhile<br />
cause. The main event and highlight<br />
of the day was the Rugby League<br />
game which was played at a frantic<br />
pace with Richmond proving too<br />
strong for Tweed/Byron in the end,<br />
running out winners 30 points to 24.<br />
After the games a number of<br />
jerseys were auctioned off, raising<br />
over $4500.<br />
Thanks go to the organisers for<br />
such a great day and to the sponsors,<br />
First State Super, the <strong>Police</strong> Bank,<br />
and the NRL Rugby Leagues Clubs for<br />
their contributions to this very worthy<br />
cause. We are looking forward to<br />
next year’s event.<br />

Thank you to all officers involved! I won’t say which one, but one of those streets is my street. I hate living here<br />
but feel safe because I see the police patrol frequently doing their rounds. Keep it up especially around the parks<br />
and car parks.<br />
@Brodie Rafferty<br />
I was in a shopping complex in Tamworth in October 2010, and the late Snr Cst Rixon was waiting in line behind<br />
me. I was unfortunately 10c short for a drink I wished to purchase, and complained to myself verbally about being<br />
thirsty. Snr Cst Rixon asked me how much cash I needed, and generously handed me the 10c I required. Just a<br />
suggestion, next time there’s a major incident in the Oxley LAC, perhaps a strike force could be named in his<br />
honour, to remember the bloke he was, and the legacy he leaves behind. RIP David<br />
