Narre Warren North electorate sports clubs

Belinda WILSON (Narre Warren North) (09:51): During the last sitting week I spoke about some awesome AFL and netball teams in my electorate, and I want to provide an amazing update on what a successful season they did have. I want to give a massive shout-out to the Endeavour Hills senior footy club. Last month the division 3 team beat the Frankston Dolphins and emerged as champions, 94 to 77. A special shout-out to the players that were named best on ground, to Sean, Ryan, Liam, John, Bailey and James. I would also like acknowledge the key individuals associated with the Endeavour Hills senior footy club: Tom, the incredible president; Rex and Fran, for the incredible work that they do; and the coaches, George, Arnie and PK. And a massive congratulations to those that were awarded life membership last week at their presentation, Jess, Swifty, the gorgeous Gail and of course Brad. They are all incredible recipients of the award.

Another exciting piece of information is that in the 2024 season the women’s football team will make its return, adding further depth to the club’s activities. The club makes diversity and inclusion a priority in everything that they do. Just recently I attended an incredible event that the club was involved in with the Bachar Houli Foundation, and I am really excited to hear that the club is going to continue its involvement with the foundation next year. The work that they do together is important for our community.

Now switching gears to netball, I am delighted to inform you that the Narre Warren Football Netball Club also had a ripper season with three footy premierships and eight netball premierships won.
