The Avoca Football Netball Club is saddened by the passing of our esteemed Life Member, Col Evans.
Col has been a great contributor to the Bulldogs for many years and coached the Avoca Reserves team from 1961 to 1965, in which the Reserves played in 4 grand finals in succession and were premiers in 1962. Col again coached the Reserves teams to compete in the finals in 1971, 1978 and 1981, and was assistant coach in 1979 & 1980 in which the team were Premiers and Runners Up.
Col was also the winner of the Reserves League Best and Fairest award in 1965.
Col was a long time committee member and selector for the senior team and was heavily involved in team selection during the clubs senior premierships in 1979 & 1980.
Col was awarded the Best Clubperson award in 1968 and his contribution to the club was recognised in 1981 when he received his Life membership for services rendered.
Col could always be heard barracking loudly from the sidelines and received great joy watching his children and grandchildren playing football and netball for the Avoca Bulldogs.
Our sympathy to the Evans family!
