Brian Jennings who sadly passed last week was heavily involved with the Deniliquin and District Cricket Association before the Rhinos were formed.
Rhinos players also wore black armbands as a mark of respect for the local community figure.
The gesture comes ahead of ‘BJ's Walk For A Cure’, which will be held at 11am on Sunday, November 22 at the Rhinos' No. 3 Oval, raising awareness and support for brain cancer research.
Community members are encouraged to come along and support the event, with registrations available on the day.
Deni High formal celebration
Deniliquin High School's Year 12 Class of 2026 celebrated the end of their school journey in style at the Deniliquin Town Hall on Saturday night.
Having recently completed their HSC examinations, students enjoyed the opportunity to come together with parents, friends and teachers to mark the milestone occasion.
The formal provided a chance for the graduating class to reflect on their years at school, celebrate their achievements and look ahead to the next chapter of their lives.
Students arrived dressed in their finest attire and enjoyed an evening of photos, dancing and celebrations with those who have supported them throughout their education.
The event was a fitting way to recognise the hard work and dedication shown by the Year 12 cohort throughout their final year of schooling.
• Photos from the Deniliquin High School Formal will be published in Friday's edition.

Windswept weekend
It was a blustery weekend across the district, with strong south-westerly winds making their presence felt from Saturday morning through to Sunday.
Saturday proved the windiest day, with sustained winds of more than 20 knots and gusts reaching around 30 knots during the afternoon. The strong winds made conditions challenging for outdoor events, sporting fixtures and anyone spending time on the water.
Despite clear skies and no recorded rainfall, the wind kept temperatures feeling much cooler than the actual readings. While the mercury climbed to around 20 degrees, the strong southerly change meant conditions often felt closer to single figures.
The breeze eased slightly on Sunday but remained noticeable throughout the day, continuing a cool and dry run of weather across the region. With no rain recorded over the weekend, paddocks and gardens remain in need of a decent soaking as the district heads further into spring.
