Celebrating Excellence
Rob Walker Named 2024 Flower Hotels Senior Sportsperson of the Year!
Rob’s dedication and exceptional talent as a hockey player are evident both on and off the field. Competing as the NSW Masters Over 45s Goalkeeper, Rob has firmly established himself as Australia’s #1 in his category—a true testament to his incredible skill, commitment, and love for the game.
