07.01.2022 Standing orders were suspended at a meeting of the Maribyrnong City Council on Tuesday night to acknowledge hockey stalwart Brendan Sheehan a life member, long standing board member and coach at the Footscray Hockey Club. Brendan has given much to the sport and to his club over more than 40 years through junior coaching and development, as well as off-field planning and project development. He was party to the negotiations with Council over the $1.9million pavilion re-development and renewal of the lease over the Footscray Hockey Centre as well as the $1.7 million dollar development of the Easter Pitch which in 2016 was named in his honour. His loss will be keenly felt. Vale Brendan. Photo courtesy of Footscray Hockey Club
