Thank you to Mitch Ayres!
The HBC Committee and family wants to extend an enormous thank you to “Ayresy” on behalf of all our Members.
The Club has been very fortunate to have had Mitch at the helm over the past 5 years. Sure, there have been premierships and successes during his time (and we all love those!) but the impact Mitch has had on the club runs so much deeper.
Not only has he been an outstanding coach and leader, but as a member, teammate, friend and individual he is one of the best you will ever meet.
The guidance and support he has provided to players across all levels of the club and ability to communicate effectively with all our members throughout his time has been phenomenal. His investment in development and progression leaves the club in a position of strength going forward.
So Ayresy, thank you!
