A teenager has stepped up to take on the president’s role at Palmwoods Warriors Football Club.  

Luke Smith, 18, a former representative and state player has taken the helm at the same club where he plied his trade. The announcement came at the club AGM on Saturday September 10.  

“We are really excited by our young people stepping up to support the club that has supported their football,” said Vice President Tania Skerman as she also welcomed Tali Grace as Treasurer. 

“Neither Luke or Tali have kids at the club. They just have a real passion for the game.” 

Tali has been associated with the club since 2004 as a player.  

“We are very excited to have these young and vibrant players giving back to the football committee where they spent their youth playing sport.  

“They bring a fresh perspective to the team and are keen to get alongside the kids on the field.”   

The club looks forward to a great 2023 season with reconstruction to the clubhouse occurring and potential lighting of our junior fields. 

Having just had their most successful season ever with Grand Final wins for the U11 Mohicans, U13 Titans, Over 35 Men and Senior Men and Palmwoods Black winning the Kevy Cup, there will be a lot to live up to.  

The club would like to thank its 2022 sponsors: Martinuzzi Property Group, Palmwoods Hotel, Piggyback, East West Contracting, Nambour Mill Village, Thinking Big Finance and Andrew Powell, Member for Glasshouse for their continued support.
