West Brunswick Amateur Football Club has walked away with $50,000 as they were announced the 2024 Uber Reserve Grade Heroes, a competition to find the country’s most deserving community sport reserves side.
The competition, supported by the Australian Sports Foundation and Uber, saw clubs vie for funding with a series of quirky video entries. The club was told about their successful entry in the competition by Matilda’s star, Mary Fowler, who congratulated the club for highlighting the real challenges that football clubs are faced with, especially as a player driven club and how the club continues to be driven by players and volunteers.
The $50,000 comes at a great time for the club whose club rooms are currently being rebuilt at Ransford Oval. The club has indicated that the funds will help towards a variety of initiatives including First nations jumpers, reduced subs for gender diverse players and importantly new equipment and more footballs.
West Brunswick Coach, Lydia Holt, said ” We are in for a really challenging year financially, due to our clubrooms being demolished and rebuilt, so the $50,000 will certainly relieve some of those pressures.”
This weekend West Brunswick’s Senior and Reserve Men’s side travel to Victoria Park to face off against Kew, while the Women’s Seniors and Reserves side head to Frearson Oval to face Monash in a twilight clash under lights.
