Vale Kirk Trewern 1970-2018
Camberwell Lacrosse Club tragically lost one of our club stalwarts after a short illness in September this year. He was a member of the club for over 35 years and made significant contributions to the club both on and off the field. This included playing for 35 years, coaching juniors, representing Victoria and winning premierships. He played 228 games for Camberwell, mostly as goal keeper, as well as being credited with 1 goal and 3 assists.
Behind the scenes, he initially started helping out line marking as a 14 year old and then took over the role for many years. He also organised social events and helped out around the club in any way he could. He was particularly supportive of the lower grades and strongly encouraged both older players to keep playing and juniors to play up on Saturday afternoons.
Both his twin boys Dylan and Brandon played for many years and also made significant contributions to the club. Kirk was really proud of his boys and would happily 'chew the ear' of anyone about their different strengths. Kirk will be sadly missed both as a larger than life figure around the club and a mate, mentor and an incredibly hard worker.
RIP Kirk
The club is planning a celebration of Kirk's life in the near future so keep an eye out for details.
