Richard Reilly

richardRichard’s children have been members of the KFJSC since 2011, firstly through basketball and then football. His eldest started playing basketball in the “Playball Basketball” competition in 2011 on Tuesday afternoons at MSAC, while now boys play in one of ten Kensington Junior Basketball Club teams that are registered with the Westgate Basketball Association.

He is currently the president of the Kensington Junior Basketball Club but coaches and team manages also. He has been team runner for Kensington football teams and also a slow boundary umpire. The basketball presidency confers a vice president’s position on the KFJSC Committee.

Richard started playing basketball as a grade 5 school boy but in the intervening years failed to develop a respectable jump shot which even today can only be described as pathetic. When not administering basketball, he breeds alpacas and tends his dragon fruit trees in the Kensington Community garden.
