Joanne Bonney was an athlete who had a heart condition and was never supposed to do athletics.  She defied all odds and her passion was to do Little Athletics.  She was a battler every time she competed. 

 

Unfortunately tragedy struck Joanne when her condition caught up with her.  She passed away at Under 15 age level.  Her father organised that a trophy be inaugurated in her name, to be known as the battler’s trophy. 

This trophy nominated by PRLAC members and presented every year to the athlete that competes at all times and gives their best. 

 

This trophy is presented every year to the athlete that competes at all times and gives their best.
