Since joining the Rovers in 2007, the VFL Liston Medal winner has taken the club to successive Grand Final’s earning duel promotion, with the club returning to B Section next year for the first time since 2003. Gary has achieved a win-loss ratio of 28-14.
Reserves coach Paul Curry and Under 19 coach Anthony Quon have also both been re-appointed for 2009 after successful first years in their positions.
Meanwhile at the recent Presentation Night, Mark Devereaux won his first senior Best & Fairest, winning the Bob Cave Medal on 124 votes, a massive 52 votes ahead of second placed Jason Zampaglione. The night, which attracted a full-house, also featured an emotional tribute to the late Graham Carr who was deservedly named best clubman of the year.
The club now looks forward to recruiting well and having a strong 2009 in VAFA B Section. Full details at www.hamptonrovers.com.au.
