At St Mary’s, we want to offer a place where local players can keep their footy journey going, surrounded by the community they know and the friends they’ve grown up with. We believe the transition from juniors to seniors should feel like a natural step—where players can continue to develop, have fun, and play with teammates who have been by their side for years.
A perfect example of this is our senior women’s team. Last year, a group of talented women—many of whom came through St Mary’s juniors—won the Division 1 premiership.
We’ve seen it before, too. Back in 2014, our U19s made history by winning the club’s first-ever premiership. What’s even more special about that achievement? Of the 42 players in that team, 37 came up together from the Colts at our junior club. It’s proof that when players grow and develop together, they’re ready to take on whatever challenges senior footy brings.
We can’t wait to support more players from St Mary’s Junior Football Club make their mark in senior footy.
