The commitment and longevity of players plying their trade in the local leagues continues to reap magnificent milestones with Njalikwa Chongwe, aka Jello, set to play his 400th game for Curtain Rugby Club this Saturday.
Jello will become the first player to achieve the quadruple century for the club when he runs out against old foes the Southern Lions.
The industrious halfback started his illustrious career as a colt in 1983 and was part of the club when Southern Lions split off in 1987.
An elite athlete, Jello continues to train hard and flogged the beep test during a tough pre-season training schedule.
A determined competitor who always strives for the best, Jello has captained the side to two premierships, played in the Combined University games against various touring sides, and represented the WA ‘City’ side in games against WA Country and against NSW U21’s.
Jello has won the clubs Best and Fairest and Players' Player awards on numerous occasions and is set to make his international debut in the Bali 10's this October.
A highly regarded and respected player both on and off the field, Jello also has a mischievous streak a mile wide and team mates have always wondered how he has lasted this long!
RugbyWA would like to congratulate Jello on this significant milestone and we wish him the best of luck in his special game.
