The Singleton Roosters football club has expressed its grief and heartbreak in the wake of the Hunter Valley
wedding bus crash , which took the lives of several members and injured others.
Addressing reporters at Rose Point Park, where team members train and play matches, president Dylan Hixon said the club had been left devastated by the tragic crash on June 11, which killed 10 people in one of the worst road accidents in recent history.
The club has found itself at the centre of the tragedy: bride and groom Mitchell Gaffney and Maddy Edsell were members of the Singleton men's and women's teams.

Among the wedding guests killed from the club were Nadine McBride and her daughter Kyah, Kane Symons, married couple Lynan and Andrew Scott, and Tori Cowburn.
"Our community has experienced unfathomable heartache, distress and sadness," Hixon said.
"The club extends its deepest sympathies to the families who have lost loved ones. while our thoughts are with everyone close to each person involved, including those who have passed away and suffered injuries.

Hixon thanked those who were part of a collective outpouring of support in the wake of the tragedy and asked the media for privacy to allow everyone to grieve.
"We appreciate there's a significant media and public interest in this tragedy and those involved and we asked for the privacy of our community to be respected as we collectively grieve and process this enormous loss," Hixon said.
Hixon said members would be leaning on each other for support during the tough time ahead.
Bus driver Brett Button, 58, has been released on bail after being charged with serious driving offences in relation to the crash.
