Sam Black Memorial Award

Sam came to the club in 2001 to commence his football career in our Under 9’s. He loved the game and enjoyed being a ‘Tiger cub’;  playing all 14 matches of the season, along with the lightening premiership. Her loved playing with his mates and they loved playing with him. He epitomised the excitement that we hope our young players of today experience. Sadly and unexpectedly a medical emergency over the summer season saw Sam tragically passed away. It was a shock to our close nite football community. From the next season onwards we remember Sam by recognising an Under 9 player who shares similar attributes.  Love of the game, love of being with mates and a love of trying hard.
