AFL

Tamworth AFL are thrilled to introduce a new addition to their AFL team, Lachie Inkster-Bennetts, who will be joining them full-time in the North West from 1 July 2024. Lachie brings a wealth of AFL experience, having played, captained, and coached in Sydney and the North West. Many of us may already know him from his role as the playing coach of the Senior Men’s team at the Tamworth Swans, where he has been making significant strides.

Previously, Lachie served as our Development Officer in Sydney from August 2018 to November 2020, during which time he demonstrated his dedication to nurturing the growth of AFL at grassroots levels.

Tamworth AFL are excited about the opportunities Lachie will bring to expand AFL in our region. His passion and commitment are evident, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on the local AFL community. St Ed's will have Lachie visiting our school over the next two weeks at our assemblies.
