Last Friday evening was a memorable night for players, family and friends, as Swans celebrated the Maurice Embley Medal to round out the All Abilities 2025 season.

The Maurice Embley Medal is awarded to the “Most Value Player” of the season, a recognition of great leadership, strong communication (both on and off the field) and a sense of inclusivity to all the team.

2025 sees Swans 4^th winner to the list of he Maurice Embley Medal recipients, an accolade that is an honour to achieve. The medallist for the evening followed in the footsteps of Will Brenssell, who won the medal in the first inaugural season in 2022.

Head coach Leigh Farrow officially announced the end of his coaching with the All Abilities team at the end of this season. Swans are saddened with this news as he led the team with a great attitude and was open to everything.
