Both played their junior football at SLJFC and we can’t wait to see what they can do with this group.

15.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart that we let you know that one of our biggest advocates, Terry (Tezza) Coghlan passed away on Tuesday night at 9:25pm. Terry will be remembered firstly as one of the junior clubs’ greatest supporters, volunteer and friend. He was one of the greatest clubmen to both the Senior and Junior clubs, he was always the first one to arrive and usually the last to leave, never one to say no. His dedication, commitment and love for the junior players and their... families will not be forgotten. His happy, smiling face behind the bar on a Friday night or behind many a BBQ, are some of our fondest memories of Terry, along with his legendary stories and jokes. Our sincere condolences go out to the Coghlan family, who are in our thoughts at such a sad time. Fondly remembered, Sadly missed... Barb, Dave, Sarah and the SLJFC Committee, Players and Families If you or someone you know needs to chat please call Rural Alive and Well - 1300 HELP MATE

Wear your red white and blue in memory of Tez.

Thank you to all the players, coaches, trainers, team managers, volunteers and supporters.
