Braybrook Sporting Club
Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (09:51): I stand to congratulate the Braybrook football club on their fantastic season. The Braybrook Sporting Club is a historic football club that was founded in 1874 and is one of the league’s most successful clubs, having won over 40 premierships. Braybrook currently holds the record in Australia for the club that has produced the most homegrown AFL and VFL players. They include Ted Whitten, George Bisset, Brian Wilson and Dougie Hawkins. It is a multicultural community-based club with a great family and social atmosphere. Last weekend both the reserves and seniors teams took on Sunshine Heights Football Club, and their wins have taken them into the preliminary finals. The seniors defeated Sunshine Heights, as did the reserves. The preliminary finals will be kicked off on Sunday at Pennell Reserve in Braybrook. The reserves will take on Wyndham Suns Football Club, followed by the seniors taking on Albanvale Football Club.
The Braybrook club rooms need to be upgraded. I will continue to fight for an election promise from either this government or the opposition as Braybrook deserves the best. If you have ever been to the Braybrook football club and the club rooms—they are the oldest club rooms, I would actually say, in the whole of Victoria, and they deserve an upgrade. Come on, Brookers.
