With former club captain, Corey Yeo a popular figure who seemed to enjoy the brisk Sunday morning ‘It’s great to see so many clubs down here represented in such strong numbers by their Auskick programs, as well as plenty of the senior playing group giving up their time on the bye weekend to give back to the pathways a lot of them progressed through’.
