The Sinners cater for all levels of AFL experience, in fact our group includes former NRL, Rugby Union, Soccer and AFL League players to first time novices. The Sinners are all about participation and enjoying a social footy Club environment . We have more than 70 registered members ranging from 30 years old through to over 50. The sinners was established for the fathers of Maroubra Saint Juniors to have a kick and relive former glories......... over 35 AFL in Sydney.
When you join the sinners you are automatically allocated to one of our 2 teams. "The rest of the World" ROW or "NSW/ACT". This is generally determined by you city/state/country where you played your first game of senior football {any code} . While the NSW team has many from the Riverina and Sydney, ROW is made up of mainly Irish, Southerners, Westerners, northerners and Easterners.
The two teams then play 3 games a season in the very prestigious STATE of ORIGIN SERIES playing for the "Bart Cup" named after Grant Bartholomeus who is one of the foundation Sinners, active Junior Coach / Coaching Coordinator with Maroubra saints Juniors and player in the senior side Saints afc. He is very well respected in the AFL community who was also a former swans player and coach of a Sydney AFL Premiership side at St George.
Each fortnight during the footy season the sinners have a training session where we particpate in drills and skills that then lead into a scratch game of tag footy. We average at least twenty sinners each training session that sometimes includes some juniors who are always welcome.
The Sinners are affiliated with the AFL Masters. We also play masters rules matches against other over 35's sides culminating with an end season trip to QLD to play a representative side as part of our end of season adventure, that inlcudes a visit to the races and more.
Everyone is welcome to come down for a kick play in our social non contact orgainised games. Go to the CONTACT US tab for more info.
