Saints Celebrate 2026 Season and Award Winners
St Mary’s Sporting Club has celebrated another fantastic season of football and netball, recognising the achievements of our players, coaches, volunteers and supporters at our 2026 Senior Presentation Night.
It was a season filled with determination, teamwork and plenty of proud moments, highlighted by our Senior Men’s Football Premiership and five St Mary’s teams competing in Grand Finals across football and netball.
While our Senior Football team was the only side to bring home a premiership, reaching a Grand Final is an outstanding achievement in itself. We congratulate all five teams, their coaches, team managers, trainers and support crews for their efforts throughout the season.
A special thank you also goes to the incredible sea of blue and green supporters who turned out to cheer on our Saints. Our Club’s community spirit was certainly on show!
