Pirate Quarterback, David Ward, has reached an amazing milestone in what has been an outstanding career for his Club, State, and Country.
In the Week 13 game against the Newcastle Cobras, David notched up his 300th career Touchdown pass.
In an even more amazing statistic, that record does not include those Touchdown passes thrown while he was playing with State or National teams.
The 300th TD play was a simple pattern to Running Back, Marlou Tacugue, who outpaced the opposition to score, but it was enough for David to break through the magic barrier.
Davids career actually began with the now defunct Penrith City Outlaws and he joined the Pirates in 1999 where he has been the main man at the controls of the Pirate Offense ever since.
His career has been interrupted by a number of injuries, most notably two major knee injuries (in 1997 and 2011) but he has been able to bounce back to lead the Offense to some amazing successes, including reaching the post-season with the Pirates in every year bar one of his career with the Club.
Everyone at the West Sydney Pirates congratulates David on a remarkable achievement, and we look forward to many more Touchdown passes to come.
