We’re excited to announce that Andrew Walker will return as Head Coach of our Youth League One Men’s program for the 2027 season! 🏀

Coach Walker’s return to MUBC in 2026 saw the program enjoy its best-ever season in Youth League One Men, finishing 5th on the ladder and setting a new benchmark for the program. 🔥🔥

With that foundation now firmly in place, we’re thrilled to have Andrew continuing to lead the team into 2027.

A Life Member of MUBC and a coach with a long and successful history across the Big V/VBL, Andrew brings invaluable experience and connection to the wider club.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for our Youth League Men under Coach Walker. 🏀💙

That remarkable level of success has established Matt as one of the leading coaches in Big V, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to MUBC. 💙

We look forward to seeing Matt build on the foundations of our Championship Men’s program as we enter an exciting new chapter. 🚀

Thank you, Josh 💙

After two seasons leading our Championship Men, Joshua Turton has decided to step away from his role with MUBC at the end of the 2026 season.

Josh leaves a significant mark on our program. Across 2025 and 2026, he helped take our Championship Men to consecutive finals appearances, a historic finals victory in 2025, and our highest-ever Championship ladder finish in 2026.

Just as importantly, Josh has helped establish a strong platform for the continued growth and success of our senior men’s program. His work was recognised with consecutive league Coach of the Year nominations in 2025 and 2026.

We’re incredibly grateful for the time, energy and commitment Josh has given to MUBC over the past two seasons. He has been a valued part of our club, and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together.

Thank you, Josh, and all the very best for what comes next. 💙
