Time has been called. The full-time siren has sounded and it’s stumps on Day 5… Now the countdown is on! With submissions now closed, we’re proud to be announcing our Round 4 winners of the Club Roar Awards on Wednesday, September 26.
This means there’s only a handful of days until we fill the piggy banks of Club Roar’s greatest grassroots clubs and players with $10,000 to giveaway across nine categories.
With just shy of 4,000 videos published since the Awards opened at the end of February, the fourth round has been the most competitive and jam-packed of them all, boasting a plethora of weekend warriors, classic sporting fails, destructive prodigies and the everyday gold that comes from grassroots sport!
While our judging panel is hard at work selecting Round 4’s winners, you can keep tabs and gain a little insight into the process by checking in here to see daily updates on new videos that have made shortlists for each category.
You might even find your club or name make its way onto the list and find yourself well within a chance of taking home the cash!
A mix of our judging panel and viewer popularity (get those views up!) will then decide who makes the final dash at winning any number of Awards on September 26.

CLUB ROAR AWARD
The Club Roar Award covers absolutely everything across all categories, making it one tough pool to come out on top of as the most popular among viewers and the judging panel.
Beastmode
