Julia Coote, Sutherland's long-standing first grade scorer, passed away on Thursday morning. Club historian Tom Iceton posted this obituary on the Sutherland website last night:
It is with a very heavy heart that I write these words from the other side of the world. It is my very sad duty to advise that Julia Coote passed away peacefully this morning after a battle with cancer. It is now over 10 months since we were advised of Jules’ diagnosis, which we passed on to the SDCC community at that time. Jules carried on her life over the last 10 months with a stoic attitude and cheerful disposition, accepting of her fate but not consumed by it.
