Congratulations to Old Collegian Joshua Harrington (SPC 2012-17) who was the head coach of the Under 19 Heidelberg Football Club, which won this year’s Northern League grand final for the first time in its history.

It was Joshua’s first year as head coach of the team and it is the first time in the club’s history they have made it to a Division One Under 19 Grand Final.

Established in 1876, Heidelberg Football & Netball Club is one of the oldest Australian Rules Football Clubs in the country.

Joshua was the assistant coach last year and also coached the Under 17 Colts team for a number of years.
