Hearty news for Windsor Wolves by Greg Martin
So , Peter V ’ Landys , the head honcho at the National Rugby League , intends purchasing a jet plane to ferry footballers around the country .
That came to mind when Dean Jones , the Rugby League Administrator at Windsor Wolves , proudly informed me that Windsor Toyota ’ s manager , Rhys Field , had presented the club with a defibrillator .
I immediately quipped to Dean – “ crikey , instead of buying a ‘ plane , V ’ Landys should purchase defibrillators for every junior rugby league club in
the country ”. Anyway , let ’ s give praise to Toyota Australia and in particular , Windsor Toyota and Rhys Field and his staff .
“ Head office asked dealerships all around the country to , well , do something for their local community and we came up with the idea of providing a vital defibrillator to Windsor Wolves Leagues Club ,” Rhys explained .
“ The defibrillator will give peace of mind to those socialising at the club and the huge number of footballers of all ages playing for the Wolves .”
Rhys has a strong link to the Wolves – his young sons , Riley , 13 , and six-year-old
Isaac , proudly wear green and yellow jerseys , and Rhys has been involved as trainer and manager since Riley joined the club in the Under 6s .
His wife , Kylie , refused to become a rugby league “ widow ” and attends all her sons ’ matches .
Windsor Leagues secretarymanager , Michael Pullin , has already completed a training course on the defibrillator , and over ensuing weeks , other members of the staff will also complete the free course .
The St John Ambulance defibrillator with CPR ( cardiopulmonary resuscitation ) analyses patient ’ s heart rhythm in seconds and delivers a customised shock for each patient .
Coupled with military tested ruggedness and an IP55 against dust and water and the most comprehensive self-testing of any
Ready to shock and roll ! Windsor Toyota manager , Rhys Field ( r ), had great delight in presenting a St John ’ s Ambulance defibrillator to Windsor Wolves ’ Dean Jones ( l ) and Michael Pullin .
“ The defibrillator will give peace of mind to those socialising at the club and the huge number of footballers of all ages playing for the Wolves .”
AED , the St John Ambulance G5 defibrillator is ready to rescue .
Onya , Toyota Windsor !
