Thank you, Bonja ❤️
We’re sad to farewell our senior vice captain, Mitch Bongiovanni, as he makes the move to play footy closer to home.
From an U14 player in our first ever premiership side in 2008, to our senior vice captain for almost a decade, Mitch has been an integral part of the Lakers family throughout his career.
While there will be so much to miss on and off the field, we wish Mitch, Jas, Lucas and Oli all the best in this new chapter and thank them for the years of service they have given our club 💛💙🖤🤍
Kicking off our re-commitments with a bang!
Great to see four young guns locked in for another year 🔒
With great experience at senior level across the crew, we're looking forward to seeing what these boys can bring in 2026 🔥
💛💙🖤🤍

Our newest recruit is hiding behind a Play School window… which window will it be??
We’re excited to announce that another one of our Laker juniors has returned home 🙌
After spending the last couple of years at Albion FC and with a senior premiership under his belt, Jesse ‘Wingy’ Cavanagh returns to our senior squad where he’ll apply his craft to our forward line and bring some hardness around the contest.
The son of our inaugural senior captain, it will be great to see Wingy make his own name in Lakers colours as his dad once did.
We look forward to welcoming Wingy home along with his partner, Emma, and daughter, Bailey 💛💙🖤🤍

Throughout August and September we held our junior presentation evenings, with many of our junior players recognised for their outstanding contributions to their team in 2025 🌟
It was great to come together with each team to crown our best and fairest winners, as well as to celebrate the successes of the season as a whole.
Congratulations to all of our award winners and to all of our players who pulled on the yellow, blue, white and black in 2025! It was a great year for our junior program and we look forward to going bigger and better in 2026 💪

CSFC are delighted to announce the appointments of our junior coaches for 2026!
With a mix of new and returning faces, we are excited to watch the rapid growth and development of our teams with this group at the helm. With many returning for a consecutive season, it will be great to see the groups stick together and go bigger and better next year!
We are also proud to announce that Mira Diab and Caitlyn Volpe will be joining the U16 Girls coaching team as assistant coaches. Both Mira and Caitlyn are current U18 players and will transition into the senior playing group in 2026, having already gained experience at that level alongside their years of Western Jets experience. They are great role models for our junior girls, setting exceptional standards on and off the field and have both won multiple premierships at the Lakers at both U18 and senior levels.
Please join us in congratulating our newly appointed coaches and wish them luck for 2026 👏
Further announcements to come as appointments are made.
💛💙🖤🤍

HE’S BACK!
One of our most decorated Laker juniors has returned home after applying his craft in the EDFL Premier Division over the past couple of years.
A senior best and fairest winner at East Keilor, Zen is a highly skilled midfielder who played all of his junior football at the Lakers and will complement our existing squad well. It will be great to see him reunited on the field with some of his former junior teammates at senior level.
Please join us in welcoming Zen back to the club 👏
