“After extended lockdowns in Victoria in 2020 and 2021 team numbers hovered around the minimum required to field a team but the group remained stoic despite winning 3 only games over 2022 and 2023 seasons. However, what we have in heart and tenacity we desperately lack in equipment. We feel it is so important for these young men’s fitness and mental health to keep them in the sport and give them the best opportunities possible. We would love to be considered for a grant to be able to provide training equipment to support this.”
