Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick Dempsey (ON 2014) and his family after he suffered serious injuries in January.

The Border Mail published that Nick suffered a C4 vertebrae fracture and an Alfred Hospital spokesman said about 2am, a man in his 20’s was airlifted from Albury with spinal injuries sustained during a pool accident..

The young Albury Tigers player has represented Australia in water polo and played in division two for Sydney University. 

In 2014, he travelled to Turkey as part of a national team at the under-18 World Championships.

Nick had been nominated for the Albury Young Achiever of the Year award multiple times and is well-known for his abilities in the local area and interstate.

 The ONU Dinner to be held on Friday 28 July at Doltone House will be raising funds for Nick and his family.
