About
The Janelle Clarke Memorial Award was inaugurated in 2003 in memory of Janelle Clarke. Janelle Clarke began her netball career with Embleton Primary School before joining Rebels in 1992 when she was 13 years old. Janelle Clarke played for Rebels for both winter and spring seasons for seven years, playing a total of 156 games. Janelle also represented Noranda Netball Association at various levels throughout her time with Rebels.
Tragically, in 2003 Janelle was in a car crash on Great Eastern Highway that claimed her life at the young age of 24. In memory of Janelle, Rebels created the Janelle Clarke Memorial Award, to honour Janelle’s commitment and dedication to the club.
The recipient of the Janelle Clarke Memorial Award is selected by the Executive Committee for their outstanding contribution to the club. The recipient of the award receives a Perpetual Trophy and a gift voucher.
