AWARDED NO. 1 AFL CLUB IN SYDNEY! 🏆🖤🤍

We are thrilled and humbled to announce that the Inner West Magpies Juniors has taken out the 2026 AFL Sydney Juniors Club of the Year!

This award isn’t just about silverware — it represents the heart, soul, and hard work of our entire community coming together to build something truly special.

This achievement belongs to every single person who makes our club tick:

Our President, Greg Lamrock, and the committee for their tireless leadership and vision to grow the club.

Our passionate coaches and managers for guiding, supporting, and developing our young players.

Our amazing volunteers and parents who fire up the BBQ, run the lines, pack the kits, and bring positive energy week in, week out.

Our junior players, whose effort, mateship, and love for the game make wearing the black and white so special.

From our grassroots programs right through to our youth sides, this award belongs to the whole Magpies family.

🖤🤍 Fly as one! 🤍🖤
