Presidents message
On behalf of the Cairns Saints Football Netball Club, l would like to welcome our sponsors, supporters and players to season 2020. l have great pleasure in announcing that the Bungalow Hotel will continue as our major sponsor for season 2020 and would like to thank the Gibson family for their ongoing support.
The football department has been busy with the appointment of Wes Glass as senior coach. Wes brings to the club 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 making the grand final in only their second year our women's team are back into training with record numbers and are all focused on going one better this year.
After winning 5 out of a possible 6 grand finals last season our juniors are back into training with all grades once again showing great numbers and with the inclusion of the U/18 youths girls team l'm sure we are in for another exciting year.
Last but certainly not least l would like to welcome and thank our management committee, sponsors and volunteers for season 2020.

The Cairns Saints Australian Football and Netball Club was established in 1993.
Located in the heart of Cairns, our club has a proud history and is the most successful AFL and Netball club in the surrounding region.
From humble beginnings the club began its football journey in the local AFL competition, winning a Premiership in the second year of operation. The club then went on to win the following two premierships in 1995 and 1996. The club continued this success winning another hat trick of Premierships in 1998, 1999 and 2000. The club kept up this momentum winning another 7 premierships in 16 years. In 2009, the club extended from AFL to include Netball and after 9 years in the competition, the club now boasts 10 netball teams in Juniors and Seniors along with 5 Division 1 premierships in the local Cairns competition.
