Presidents message
On behalf of the Cairns Saints Football Club, l would like to welcome our sponsors, supporters and players to season 2021. l have great pleasure in announcing that the Bungalow Hotel will continue as our major sponsor for season 2021 and would like to thank the Gibson family for their ongoing support.
Wes Glass continues as senior coach, and hopes to go one better after falling at the last hurdle last season. Wes has a wealth of experience, knowledge and professionalism and has been busy recruiting in the off season with a big focus on developing our up and coming junior players in preparing them for senior football. After winning the grand final last year our women's team are back into training with great numbers and ready to go again. Our juniors are also back into training with all grades once again showing great numbers.
Last but certainly not least l would like to welcome and thank our management committee, sponsors and volunteers for season 2021.
