Bendigo Football Club - aka Bendigo Gold

A trip down memory lane at People First Stadium, here on the Gold Coast, with a pic of a former Sun who joined the Bendigo Gold for its final two season.

Can anyone guess the Suns/Gold player ? I reckon the flowing locks might give it away !

**** VALE KEN LYNCH ****

Hi all, it is with great sadness that I advise long time Bendigo Bombers/Gold club stalwart Ken Lynch has passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Kenny, as he was affectionately known as around the club, dedicated himself as a club volunteer to the various iterations of the Bendigo VFL football and was much loved amongst the players, coaches, support staff and committee alike.

A love for his mighty Essendon Bombers was complimented with his love to see VFL football succeed in Central Victoria. He knew all the boys by name that pulled on a Bendigo Football Club - aka Bendigo Gold jumper either as a Bomber or a Gold, and would always offer the boys words of encouragement at the end of each game, irrespective of the final result.

The following information is provided from Ken's son, Daryl

We share the news that Ken is now at peace.

Ken passed today at at 12.20 pm on Saturday 12th of August, In his family home surrounded by his family and loved ones.

We thank you all for the care, support and the very kind offers in the last few months as Ken became more tired.

We understand everyone will wish to offer thier condolences, we just ask at this time you allow the family to take the time they need.

We will share the information for a service once this information has been decided.

With love from the Lynch family.

Details of Ken's funeral will be provided in due course.

Great read for those who have a HS subscription...

The moment Tiger livewire nearly gave up on AFL dream Jake Aarts would wake up at 5.30 twice in one day.

Wishing our very own ex Bendigo Gold player Jake Aarts all the best as he makes his AFL debut, playing for Richmond against Melbourne at the MCG tomorrow.

Jake will become the very first Bendigo Gold player to play Senior AFL football.

It's been a long road for Jake to realise his AFL dream having been in the VFL system since 2013 when he joined the Gold. Since the Gold demise, Jake has been in the VFL program with the Richmond football club before earning a rookie list promotion this season.

All associated with the Bendigo Gold wish you all the best Jake !

A must for all lovers of the Bendigo Gold !!!
