Tatyoon Football Netball Club is planning for success on and off the field in 2024 as it prepares to celebrate its centenary season.

The club was established in 1924 and has planned two social functions to acknowledge its 100-year milestone.

The Hawks will host a season launch on April 13 at Tatyoon Hall, a week before their Mininera and District Football League round one clash against Woorndoo-Mortlake.

The match will be a replay of the 2023 senior football grand final, in which Tatyoon claimed its 13th senior premiership.

Tatyoon’s A and C grade netballers also claimed back-to-back premierships, taking the club’s A Grade premiership tally to 13.

Club officials encouraged all past and current players, coaches, members and supporters to help launch the milestone year.

Tatyoon president Andy Tucker said members of neighbouring clubs and leagues were also welcome to attend and connect prior to the season starting.

“Off the back of a very successful year in 2023, we’re excited to celebrate 100 years of Tatyoon this year by launching the season at our first event in April, before a more formal celebration in the middle of the year,” he said.

“It has created some excitement around the place with old memorabilia and photos coming to light for the first time in years.

“It will be a great opportunity for past players and officials to reconnect with the club and catch up with old teammates and former members who have since moved away from the local area.”

Tatyoon’s official 100-year celebration will be after the club’s round-five match against neighbouring SMW Rovers on Saturday, May 25.

More details are available on the club’s social media pages or by emailing tatyoonfnc@gmail.com.
