Matt Bray
Sonya KILKENNY (Carrum – Minister for Planning, Minister for Outdoor Recreation) (09:43): Last weekend I was delighted to join with the hundreds of players, families, supporters and volunteers at the Carrum Downs Junior Football Club to acknowledge the extraordinary contribution of Matt Bray. Matt has just clocked up 30 years coaching two generations of kids at this wonderful club. Thirty years is an outstanding commitment, and it really says something special about Matt and his belief in and loyalty to the kids, the footy club and his local community. I think it also says something pretty special about the club, and I want to acknowledge club president Rodney Garwood for everything he has done also over many years to help make this club so inclusive, welcoming and supportive. A coaching box on the western side of the ground is now named the Matt Bray Coaches Box in recognition of 30 years coaching, 1994 to 2023.
