We also said a sad farewell to Life Member Kevin Bullen and wife Denica who are leaving Broome after many years.
Their contribution to our community and the club is immense.
Kevin was president for 15 years, a coach and played for 20 seasons!
Thank you for all that you've done, from delicious pot nights after training to cheering from the sidelines, and much more.
Best wishes from your Saints family.

The humidity of Man-gala season in Broome hasn't deterred anyone from pre-season footy training for Senior M & W, and our Netball teams, judging by the big numbers we've had.
Junior football teams are being finalised by WKJFL and most teams are making their way back on the oval for training and a fun filled season ahead. Thank you to all the parents and volunteers in our Saints Juniors!
The Executive Committee has been working hard to prepare for 2022 and beyond, including developing a club Strategic Plan, a new website and online shop for merch.
New uniforms are being made and they look sharp. We also hope to hold some club events before the first games.
Men's Coach David Pigram and Women's Coach Eric Wade are preparing for the first bounce down (v Greenbacks) on Saturday April 30 at BRAC, times for Men's & Women's games is TBC at BRAC's McMahon Oval. Game Day awards and sundowners will be at the flash new Broome Golf Club on Saturday evenings from 7pm.
Juniors games begin Friday April 29 at BRAC.
