Murlpirrmarra Connection Students Shine @ West Australian Football League Indigenous Round 2013 South Presidents Luncheon

On Saturday July 6th 2013, the Murlpirrmarra Connection was most generously invited to attend and present at the South Fremantle Football Clubs Presidents Luncheon.

Two of the Murlpirrmarra Connection’s year 12 students, Duran Patch and Braden Gilbert were given the great honour in tossing the coin to start the match between South Fremantle Football Club and Claremont’s League teams to mark the WAFL’s Indigenous round.

Not only was the match the ABC TV’s match of the round but Braden and Duran had the great privilege to meet and get to know some of the great South Fremantle players of the past and also the present day players.

A big thank you to South Fremantle’s Football Club’s CEO, Stuart Kemp, Melissa Marsh and Michelle Miller for their fabulous hospitality.
