Old Boys at the Herald Sun Shield games

A large number of our Old Boys, including current AFL Collingwood fullback Nathan Brown (SPC 2002-07) proudly donned the green, white and blue and turned out to cheer- St Patrick’s College during the Herald Sun Shield finals campaign.

While it was a loss of the narrowest of margins in the Herald Sun Shield Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday, the finals campaign have provided a great opportunity for the SPC community to unite.

Current students, parents and friends have attended the games alongside some of our Old Boys, including many past 1^st XVIII players and some of whom have gone onto AFL careers including Collingwood fullback Nathan Brown and West Coast Eagles midfielder Liam Duggan (SPC 2009-14).

For the first time, the St Patrick’s College Old Collegians Association hosted pre-match events prior to the semi and grand final at the nearby Emerald Hotel, in South Melbourne and Mount View Hotel, in Richmond.

The functions offered a chance for our Old Collegians to enjoy a pre-match drink and conversation prior to the games.
