👏CONGRATULATIONS PETER CASEY!👏

The NSW Community Sports Awards, recognise outstanding achievements and contributions to community sport in NSW – largely carried out by a volunteer workforce. In 2026, Manly Touch’s own Peter Casey, has been awarded the Distinguished Long Service Honour.

Peter Casey’s contribution to MWTA spans more than five decades of selfless and distinguished service. As a founding member of MWTA, Peter participated in our inaugural competition in 1974 and has played ever since - his dedication has never wavered. Over that time, he has held virtually every position on both the Executive and Management Committees, bringing experience and institutional knowledge to the association through every stage of its growth. For decades, Peter served as Competition Manager, ensuring our local Seniors competition ran with the organisation and integrity that players, coaches, and officials could rely on week after week. His contribution as a participant has been equally remarkable — representing Manly at State and Regional level as both a player and coach.

Beyond his own performance, Peter has invested deeply in the people around him, mentoring coaches and referees across generations and helping to build the culture of knowledge-sharing that defines our association today. Even now, Peter continues to show up — managing grounds and stepping in as a referee across our junior and senior competitions.

Manly Warringah Touch Association would not be what it is today without Peter Casey. Congratulations on this prestigous and well deserved honour!🦅

🦅 Thank You, Matt Scranage 👏

After almost 30 years with Manly Touch — and a coaching career that has taken him from our Under 8s all the way to State of Origin — we’re saying a huge thank you to Matt Scranage.

Matt started playing with us in 1997 and began coaching in 2010. Since then, he’s led our junior teams to three Junior State Cup Grand Finals, built our Men’s Opens program over nine years culminating in their first Vawdon Cup Grand Final since 1985, claimed three State of Origin series as NSW Women’s 20s Head Coach, and added another Origin Series win as Assistant Coach of the NSW Women’s Opens in 2025.

But what has always set Matt apart is his commitment to culture — ensuring every player can develop and succeed on their merits. That’s the Manly Touch way, and Matt has embodied it.
We’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved here, Matt, and we wish you all the best in the next chapter of your coaching journey.

Thank you, Matt! 🙌
