The annual ‘Central Region Coach of the Year’ awards night hosted by Rick Irwin, provided a great opportunity to thank and congratulate 45 nominated coaches and volunteers across seven categories last Wednesday night at the Mulgrave Country Club.
With over 180 people in attendance the special guests, AFL greats Peter and Paul Hudson were given a very warm welcome. The father-and-son duo imparted their wealth of knowledge on coaching and playing to the audience, as well as sharing a few comical stories of their journey along the way.
The evening kicked off with acknowledgments made to Auskick coordinators for their tireless work and commitment throughout the 2013 season with each coordinator being presented with a plaque and ‘Australia’s Game’ book.
Other categories of coaches from the Central Region recognised for their significant role in football were Junior, Youth, Female and Senior.
Congratulations to all nominees on an outstanding year of creating quality environments for our players, good luck to the winners who now qualify to be short listed for the State Coach of the Year awards in their respective categories.
Thank you to all leagues, clubs, Auskick centres, coaches and partners who supported this successful event and a special thank you to the Mulgrave Country Club for their ongoing sponsorship of the Central Region AFCA.
