RESERVES 

SNESA Football Club is happy to announce the appointment of Jake Cornwall as Reserves Coach for 2019. A true clubperson and a man who has managed over the last 10 years to escape the spotlight, Jake ‘Boof’ Cornwall has played over 180 games for SNESA across all levels, is a Life Member and recently established himself as a legitimate leader when taking the reins as Thirds coach in 2018. 

He is joined by Phil Rigg as his Assistant Coach, a long-time supporter of our football club and sport in the community. Phil’s two sons Ben and Stephen came through St Norbert College and he is considered a father figure at SNESA! 

 

THIRDS 

Matt Thomas (SNC Class of 2003) has been appointed as coach of our Third Senior Team in 2019. Thommo’ brings strong knowledge and a positive attitude as well as a significant amount of experience in amateur footy. He will have some valuable support from the sidelines with injured goal sneak Shaun ‘Plugger’ Petersen and his partner in crime Luke Franklin as assistant coaches!
