Hawthorn Football Club visited the region of Katherine last week as part of the AFL Club Partnership Program, and took the Premiership Cup along to the delight of many excited fans.
Assistant Coach Luke Beveridge, current players Cyril Rioli, Jed Anderson and 2008 Premiership player Chance Bateman led the group who visited remote communities and the town of Katherine itself, promoting positive messages to kids about healthy life choices.
?The group also connected once again with the U18’s local football team, the Big River Hawks who are an affiliated Club of the Hawks, and assisted with a training session.??
View photos below from the trip.
