Thanks Adrian for signing on for another season as goal keeper coach!
In addition to his dedication to our senior keepers, Chuggs will also be focusing on improving our junior NPL keepers.
Having nurtured the likes of 2022 NPL2 Goalkeeper of the Year Hamish Flavell, Adrian’s signature high-intensity sessions combined with an eye for detail are sure to provide our GKs the best start in season 2024.
Great to have you with us, Adrian!
Following a successful first season at the helm of the Club’s U21s, NGWFC is pleased to announce the re-signing of Sean Mahon as coach of our U21s and elevation to Senior Assistant Coach.
Senior Coach Joey Didulica described Sean’s appointments as “an outstanding addition to the Warriors coaching ranks.” He said Sean is “one of the most talented coaches in Victoria and has proved this in his inaugural season, taking his 21’s team only inches away from a Grand Finals birth. He will play a vital role in our 3 year vision and club philosophy.”
What a night it was to finish off and celebrate the 2023 football season for our senior men and women at NGWFC!
Thank you to all who attended – sponsors, board & volunteers, members, players, family & friends. We love being able to come together to celebrate our wonderful club and are grateful for the support of everyone in our community. We’re glad you could celebrate the end of season in style!
A big thank you to Maria Hegyesi from Geelong Flower Boutique for generously donating the beautiful flower arrangements on the night. 
Congratulations to all who were presented with an award for their outstanding performance throughout the year.

The committee of North Geelong Warriors FC wishes to announce that it has parted ways with 2023 NPL Men’s Head Coach, Tom Gavran.
Tom stepped in and took the reigns after the resignation of Stuart Begg earlier in the season and hit the ground running.
After a transition period and some quick adapting, Tom was able to steer the young brigade through injury crisis, personnel changes and new player recruitment. Under Tom’s reign the team was able to build in confidence and start picking up points in bursts through the remainder of the season, to keep the side with a chance of top flight survival right up to the last day of the season.
Although the points on the board tell one story, the other side of that is a testament to Tom and his approach to the club’s mission of promoting from within, seeing no less than nine players from the Under 18s and Under 21s make senior debuts. We’re sure they are better prepared for what may come their way in years to come as a result of the season just experienced.
We sincerely thank Tom Gavran for his commitment and perseverance through trying times, to give the job the utmost attention and professionalism, Tom is a terrific person who will no doubt be a valuable asset to the next club or project he gets stuck into.
We wish you all the very best Tom.
It was 0, 0 at full time at our round 23 match against Heidelberg United.
We stay alive in the relegation battle!
We acknowledge the Wadawurrung people as the traditional owners of the land on which we play. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
