Narre Warren North MLA Belinda Wilson (pictured) has praised the Hallam Hawks Football Club.
\u201cSport is important. It changes lives. It teaches us teamwork and brings people together,\u201d Ms Wilson told Parliament.
\u201cI got to celebrate a very amazing sporting victory. The Hallam Hawks footy club started 25 years ago as a junior club and for the past 11 years has been a senior club, and for this whole time they have not won a premiership.
\u201cWe all know that winning is not everything; however, it is a very good feeling, and the Hallam Hawks won their very first premiership.
\u201cIt was a much closer game than expected with Dandy West. However, they held on for a great victory, and not only did the seniors win but the Reserves also came home with
the cup, making it a double celebration.
\u201cClubs do not exist on their own, and so I want to give a huge shout-out to the amazing president Jack and to Daniel, Adam, Mitchell, Tracey, Pete, Carmel and of course SJ, who makes over 80 meals for the team each week.
\u201cI would also like to do a shout-out to the two captains, Joel of the Seniors and Hayden in the Reserves. And we cannot, of course, forget the coaches Tom and Michael.
Congratulations to Zach, Anthony, Jack and Joel \u2013 all have been named in the Southern League Division 4 team of the year,\u201d Ms Wilson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
