The VAFA congratulates Lucas May from St Kevin’s OB Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 9 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star. This is Lucas’ second year at SKOB and has worked his way up from U19 Div 4 all the way to U19 Premier Men’s.
This season he has booted 37 goals from 9 games to lead the Holmesglen Under 19’s Premier Men’s goal kicker talley with a 13-goal buffer on second place. On the weekend he kicked his biggest bag with a haul of 9 majors to help his side to an emphatic victory of SBMT.
What the club said:
After graduating from St Kevin’s College in 2023, Lucas joined our Under 19 program late and debuted in our Under 19 Division 4 side in Round 5, 2024. He then quickly progressed up to our under 19 Division 2 side which culminated in a bag of 8 goals in Round 11 against Old Trinity, before playing out the season in our under 19 Premier team and was part of our Grand Final side.
In 2025 Lucas has really taken the next step with 37 goals in 9 games in Under 19 Premier this season with an outstanding performance last weekend against St Bedes/Mentone Tigers kicking 9 goals, including 7 in the last quarter alone.
All at SKOBFC are very proud of Lucas’ performances to date and look forward to watching his continued progress this year and in the years to come.
