There's a lot of excitement about the Brownlows, but in Tangney we have the Brentlows. There will be plenty of celebrations this Saturday night as the Brentwood Booragoon Football Club holds its annual awards night. The mighty Bulldogs recently turned 40, celebrating their big anniversary at the last game for the season. Life members, past players, families and sponsors all cheered on for the team as they clashed with the Ellenbrook Eels at The Kennel. Brentwood Booragoon Football Club first played in 1978 after a group of close mates decided to get a football team together for the upcoming season. They made it to the grand final in the first two seasons. The club plays WAAFL with teams in the league, reserves, thirds and colts, as well as AFL Masters. The Bulldogs look after their mates and they look after our local community. Their special fundraiser in support of men's mental health raised over $3,300 for the Black Dog Institute. Congratulations to members, past and present, their families, the Bulldogs' committee and the hardworking volunteers for 40 great years of footy. I'm looking forward to celebrating with the Bulldogs this Saturday night at the Brentlows when I present the Clubman of the Year award.
