Congratulations to Old Trinity young gun Oliver Stella who has been named the Round 6 Men’s Rising Star nominee following his outstanding performance for the T’s in their draw with Old Brighton on Saturday.

What the club said:

“Oliver joined Old Trinity Grammarians FC from Trinity Grammar School in 2017, playing two seasons in the U19’s and winning the Best & Fairest last season. 2019 is Ollie’s first year of senior football.

Ollie plays like Christian Salem, creative off half back, good user, tough and great defensively one on one. Ollie has great drive and work ethic which he applies game day, willing himself to multiple contests both in the air and at ground level. Although he is a small defender, he is super tough and reliable.

A quiet clubman, Ollie lets his hard work on the training track do the talking. Ollie has led the charge along with 4-5 other key players from the U19s who have pushed into the senior group this year, completing a large senior pre-season and being a key contributor since making his senior debut.”
