The VAFA congratulates Liam Walters from St Kevin’s OB who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 19. Liam is an electrifying young talent who has produced some eye catching performances for SKOB in his first season in the VAFA.
What the club said:
Liam graduated from St Kevin’s College in 2023 and also played in recent years for the Oakleigh Chargers. A skilful and talented midfielder who can also push forward. One of those players who always seems to find time and space. In 2024 he has played all 18 senior home & away games and been named in the best 8 times as well as playing in the VAFA Under 19’s Representative Showcase match. We expect him to play a big part in our Premier Men’s finals campaign.
Seniors Coach Anthony “Plugger” Lynch said, “Liam came to the club this year straight out of the school and we immediately knew we had a special player on our hands. To not miss a game at senior level in your debut year is a great effort for such a young player.”
SKOB President Patrick Mount said, “Liam has come to the club and not missed a beat from day 1. He quietly goes about his business, worked very hard and exhibited poise and maturity well beyond his years on & off field. On behalf of the club we congratulate Liam on this honour and wish him a long and successful career ahead.”
