Footscray electorate sporting clubs
Katie HALL (Footscray) (13:20): In other local news, the Footscray Rugby Club has reached new heights, claiming the minor premiership across all three senior grades of the first division. I am told this is a first for any club in Rugby Victoria’s history. This on-field success has undoubtedly been driven by their off-field success, with more players and supporters than ever before. They are one of the biggest clubs in the league and driven solely by the hard work of the club’s members and leadership team. And the Footscray Lacrosse Club has also had a successful run recently, with the under-14s, under-17s and state league reserve teams all qualifying for their respective grand finals. The inner west continues to kick goals, metaphorically and otherwise, when it comes to community sport. Best of luck to all in the upcoming finals.
