The VAFA congratulates Boston Dowling from Old Trinity Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 3 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star. Boston is a star in the making, already having significant impact for the T’s as well as at higher level, on Collingwood’s VFL list.
What the club said:
Old Trinity Senior Coach, Donald McDonald said of Boston:
“Boston played one game for Old Trinity Seniors in 2023 while still in Year 12, representing Trinity Grammar at AGV level as well as playing for Oakleigh Chargers.
In 2024, Boston again represented Old Trinity for one game, in between his duties with Oakleigh Chargers and Collingwood VFL.
This season, Boston has played two games for Old Trinity and has really made an impact, rucking as well as pushing forward and providing a strong marking option.
Boston has great agility for his size, a terrific competitive nature, and with more experience at senior level, we have no doubt he has an exciting future ahead of him.
A very popular teammate who loves getting around his Trinity schoolmates, we all congratulate Boston on this terrific achievement of being nominated as a Rising Star.”
