Huge effort by the club
Never been i Div 2. Have come from Div 6 9 years ago.
Obviously the players and Coaching staff deserve the credit but t goes to show when you have great administrators in place the club structure becomes sustainable and the on-field success follows. Big shout out to Rob Curnow who spent a few years as their footy manager and did great things and bought in quality people.
Unless it’s changed, Matt Lucas has been the footy director since about 2020, I think curnow was/is president for a couple years
Yeah not sure exactly who does what but have had both Matty Dukes and Rob Curnow on Community Bounce and knew they were both key administrators. Have done great things. Matty still regularly messages me to ask about players. Very pro-active. Great people and when i have needed support both have been all to happy to have a chat with me.
I had Henley going 20-0 pre-season so they are the red hot favorites but would it be the ultimate Cinderella story if the local little brother could upset the super power with the footy factory. Hopefully its a good GF.
Its probably happened a few times but pretty significant stat that they play each other in all 3 grades next Saturday. I think Lockleys will get the chocolates in the B grade as they have Coaching genius of Shaun "The Beard" Williams in their corner.
Of all the 3 GF on Saturday the one that is guaranteed is the B Grade. Lockleys won’t come within 13 goals of Henley. In the 2 games this year Henley won by 75 and 90 points and they still have players to come in as Henley have a couple back for the A Grade. The depth of Henley is massive and they needed to go up to Div 2 because the quality from Div 2 to 3 is way too big. Kudos to Lockleys for continuing to climb the divisions. Only 1 thing fix ur oval. It was shocking when we played there in round 18.
