Railways Football Club to celebrate player Jesse Moore’s 200th game as a Blue

When Railways run out against Chapman Valley on the weekend, the club will be toasting a legend as Jesse Moore becomes the first player to reach 200 games as a Blue all the way through. After making his Railways debut as a junior in 1999, Moore is now in his 25th year of footy with the club. Moore will become the fifth player to reach the 200-game milestone for the club, and the first to do it with all his junior and senior games played for Railways. Over his time with Railways, Moore has played in seven league grand finals, winning two premierships along with a chip in the colts. Along with his dad John Moore, they are the only father and son pair to be made life members of Railways for playing 150 games at the club. Railways trainer Grant Russell tipped his hat to Moore for reaching the milestone. “I’ve been the one that’s strapped that shoulder of his all his career, and I’ve worked pretty closely with him,” Russell said. “He’s a very tenacious and determined player, he plays it hard and his body suffers for it … but it’s a credit to him to make the 200 games really.” Railways take on Chapman Valley at Mazzuchelli Oval this Saturday.
