IT was an emotional day at Broadford on Friday morning, with the club honouring long-time stalwart Robert Chapman with a memorial trophy.
The trophy was held for the first time since Mr Chapman’s passing after serving the club with distinction, and the occasion brought a number of clubs which fielded teams from all over the state.
Teams from Avenel, Macedon, Whittlesea, Ivanhoe, Preston/Reservoir, Euroa and of course, Mr Chapman’s beloved Broadford all rolled for a good cause, as well as a competitive chance to take home a trophy.
Fittingly, it was Broadford who took out the inaugural trophy, winning the final.
On Saturday, the club held the Gleeson Memorial Four’s, another big event for the club which brought plenty of interested teams.
The event was won by Glenroy in a thriller, taking out the title on countback from Seymour.
