A pretty cool moment on the weekend, with GOVO Football Program alumnus Garrison Kenh and Mr Ewing, AFL Program Coordinator, lining up together for the WAFL Eagles in a win over Peel Thunder.
Great to see a former GOVO student now playing WAFL football and sharing the field with his former teacher.
