IAN G. ELLIOTT PERPETUAL TROPHY

Ian Elliott was an integral part of the St Marys AFC landscape during his time as player, treasurer & committeeman. The Elliott family, in memory of Ian who passed away during 2006, have been extremely generous in striking an award recognising / assisting the Club's younger players who may demonstrate some striking talent but also players that exhibit a true Club / team attitude and may need assistance to enable them to play the best footy they can. With this award also comes player sponsorship for 2008 and a memento trophy will also be presented at the Club Presentation Night at season end. Three players were nominated as recipients of this award for Season 2008 and they are:

Andrew Baird came to us as an under age player when we were endeavoring to field a U/ 19 team. Andrew has progressed and stayed with the club and the selection group is sure that Andrew will further develop and be a very worthwhile recipient of the sponsorship and worker for the club

Anthony Murphy also came to us as an under age player to join and play with his brother Patrick. Anthony had attended St. Kevins College and was school football team captain in his last year at the college. His father Peter assists on match days with his excellent camera work and action shots. Season 2008 should be a stellar season for Anthony and we wish him well. We are sure he will carry the sponsorship well.

Sean Francis is another young player who we expect will further develop during season 2008. He has come to us with the Salesian club and is always urging others on and assisting where possible. Sean always has a quick word to ensure his team mates are on the ball and adds brightness around the club. We will watch his development with interest.

We look forward to a bright future for all players both on and off the field and feel sure that they will honor the sponsorship well.
