Sunday was our Junior Club Windup! It was great having so many of you at the club to celebrate the 2026 season.
We’ve got some award winners from L to R:
1. Peter Spencer Medal winners; Mitch (year 11/12), Travis (year 9 blue), Athieng (y9/10 girls), Charlie (year 8), Brooke (y8 girls), and Jude (year 7 gold). Each from a team which played in the finals. Tavis, Athieng and Mitch also won Best and Fairest for their age groups in the Central 1 district.
2. Junior Lifetime Medals; Isaac, Jake and James standing with Junior Coordinator Jimmy. These boys have played for Manning every year from 3-11.
3. Rob Wiley Medal; Mitch McGrath, standing with Club President Callum and Vice President Aidan.
4. Bateman Coopes Award; Jacob, Henry, Kane and Tom (absent), were recipients along with their coaches Shane and Nigel. These boys have been playing for Manning from Auskick all the way through to high school graduation. The award was presented by Brad Coopes and Mat Bateman (both wearing caps).
Congratulations to all, and a big thank you to all of our junior players. Whether or not you win an award you are an important part of the club, we love watching you grow in your abilities and love for footy. Rip Rip! 🦁🏆🏅
