Raiders junior Hardy Glover has received the Don Furner Senior NSW Country Scholarship for 2024.

Hardy becomes the fourth recipient of the Don Furner Senior Scholarship, joining an elite class of Raiders juniors to receive it.

Hardy is a Young Cherrypickers junior, who currently plays centre and five-eighth in the 2024 Raiders Harold Matthews Cup side. 

The Raiders Foundation launched the Don Furner Senior NSW Country Scholarship Program in 2021 to honour and acknowledge the tremendous contribution of our inaugural Head Coach who passed away on 24 February 2020.

Don Furner Senior had a strong association with Country NSW having been born in Condobolin and through his playing and coaching days in Junee and Queanbeyan. As Canberra Raiders Historian wrote in Absolutely Bleeding Green – The Raiders Story, “Don Furner Senior’s extraordinary legacy will forever have a place deep in the hearts of all Raiders fans.”

The Scholarship provides financial assistance to a development player for items such as living expenses, education and training fees, football equipment and transport costs to attend football development programs, carnivals, and camps.
