The Avoca Football Netball Club wish to congratulate Trevor Field who will this week be donning the Avoca Bulldogs Guernsey for the 500th time.
Trevor commenced playing with Avoca way back in 1982 with the Under 16 team and received the Best Under 13 player of that year. This was to be the start of an illustrious career with our club and thirty one years later he is still going strong and will play his 500th game this Saturday at the Avoca Public Park.
Trevor has been an outstanding contributor to the Avoca Bulldogs, both on the field and off the field. He can often be seen helping the juniors doing the tasks that a lot of people will not do. He has done the umpiring in all descriptions, Field, Goal or Boundary and will do the Running or wear the famous pink shirt of the Water Boy.
Then he dons the Guernsey and runs out to play in the Reserves these days and is still going strong as his 9 goal performance against Maryborough Rovers recently indicates.
Trevor has won numerous individual awards and also played in a number of premierships over the thirty one year journey.
He has won seven club Best & Fairest awards and been Runner Up on five occasions.
He has won two League Best & Fairest Awards. The Lexton Plains Senior Best & Fairest Award in 2001 and the MCDFNL Reserves Best & Fairest award in 2010.
He received the Peter Gellert Award in 1992 and the Maffescioni award in 2002 which were Lexton FL and Lexton Plains FL awards in which the opposition clubs vote on the best player.
He has also been selected to represent the LFL and LPFL on seven occasions.
Trevor played in four Senior Premierships in 1993, 96, 97 & 98 during the very successful 90’s era of the Avoca Bulldogs.
Trevor is held in high regard by everyone at the Avoca Football Netball Club and was awarded Life Membership in 2002 when he played his 300th game for the club.
A big crowd is expected to be in attendance on Saturday with a number of his past team mates indicating that they are returning to watch him play his 500th game.
It is also the 20 year reunion of the 1993 season in which Avoca had 6 out of 7 teams in the Grand Final winning four premierships including the Senior Premiership team in which Trevor was a part of.
We congratulate Trevor and thank him for his ongoing service to our club and wish him well for his milestone game on Saturday.
Well done Baz!
