09.01.2022 Thank you Australian Lacrosse Network for the wonderful tribute to Sue Sofarnos. Her career was awe inspiring.

08.01.2022 On Saturday the 19th of September we lost one of our club legends Sue Melli Sofarnos. Our most heartfelt condolences go out to John, Hayley, Jess, Chris and the extended family as they come to terms with losing a beautiful wife, mother and friend.... Sue has had an exceptional sporting career representing Australia in lacrosse both as a player, a coach and in administrative roles. More recently she received the ultimate honour with an Order of Australia medal in 2020 for her contribution to lacrosse. Something that she was exceptionally proud although very humble about. As a long time Life Member of Newport Ladies Lacrosse Club Sue contributed on so many levels with so many people. From coaching our State League Team to coaching our Under 13s like they were a state league team, she treated everyone like they could play for Australia if they wanted to. Her passion for the game and her enthusiasm for life was contagious, she was a woman you just wanted to be involved with. She will be forever loved and remembered by so many people in our community and in our club. Under these very difficult restrictions, we ask everyone to reach out to others in this sad time, share your tears and share your good memories in helping to support each other. The loss is immeasurable but so is the love she left behind Our Greatest Of All Time - Rest In Peace.
