THE Mt Lawley Inglewood Junior Football Club unveiled a new mascot in front of about 500 players and parents at its end-of-season carnival last month. The club held its first carnival in its 48- year history at Inglewood Oval on October 18. A boxing kangaroo mascot also made its debut, which will make appearances at home games and Auskick games in 2021. The club also celebrated the Year 12 team’s premiership win and a host of best and fair- est winners at the carnival. President Lisa Quartermain said the players would decide the mascot’s name through a competition. “With our clubrooms being knocked down just before next season to make way for Mt Lawley Inglewood’s new combined home of local footy and cricket in 2022, we’re going to be in a state of flux,’’ she said. “We figured this guy (mascot) will help to keep everyone’s spirits up while we operate out of dongas and navigate the City of Stir- ling’s construction. It was fantastic to show them that there’s much to look forward to at the club, and to end this season on such a high after what was the longest and most Mt Lawley Inglewood Junior Football Club members with the new mascot. challenging season of all was great.’’ Picture: M Biddle Classic hockey expansion the next step HOCKEY WA’s ambitious ment with a 3-2 win over Out- high-performance program backs on Sunday. that filled a void created by the Tom Harvie opened the Out- coronavirus crisis will be back backs account.
