Investing in the right mix of training equipment for female players is the priority for Killarney Vale Australian Football Club on the back of its success in the #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program.
Killarney Vale Australian Football Club receives $2,000 for winning the public vote in the January round, with $500 going to monthly runners-up, Central Coast Waterwatch and Central Coast Outrigger Canoe Club.
Killarney Vale Australian Football Club, known as the Central Coast Bombers, was formed in 1978, and today its clubrooms and home ground are located at Adelaide Street Oval, Tumbi Umbi.
President, Paul Forster, said the club is now affiliated with the recently formed Hunter Central Coast AFL and cater for junior boys and girls and seniors, both men and women.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of female players of all ages over the past few years, which has been outstanding. With that though has been an increased investment in gear and facilities,” Paul said.
“While we’ve upgraded our women’s changerooms, this funding from Greater Bank will help to ensure we have the right mix of training equipment to cater for the influx of female players.”

Greater Bank’s Central Coast Regional Sales Manager, Josh Swetnam, said sporting clubs play a vital role in the community.
“It’s great to see sporting activities really getting back to normal after the disruptions of the past couple of years,” Josh said.
“We love our sport at Greater Bank so we are delighted to be able to help local clubs like the Bombers through the #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program, especially to make sure their women and girls have the gear they need to succeed.
“We have another $3,000 on offer for February, with Doggie Dates NSW Ltd, The Nappy Collective and Central Coast Twist Mardi Gras Float in the running, so I’d like to wish all our nominees the best of luck.”
