It was at Lower Plenty that he picked up coaching as well, helping reserves teams get to finals and most recently coaching the Div 1 Seniors.

Whether they are behind the bar or canteen, an umpire escort, runner, trainer or anything else, every role is critical and running our club would not be possible without volunteers.

Celebrating International Men’s Day
Today is International Men’s Day and we are ‘Celebrating Mateship’ to inspire more men to #MakeTime4Mates

Mark Stanley, Club President, shared how important the culture of mateship is at the Club.
“Mateship, along with courage and teamwork, are all fundamental parts of the St Mary’s community, and we are proud to be a club that is representative of the Australian spirit of mateship.”
