Our condolences go out to his family, friends and team mates.

The Eastern Hills Cats Masters lost a great man last week Rex ‘Sexy Rexy’ Humes.

We were all saddened to hear news of Rexys passing not only at the Cats but the broader Masters Aflwa and Football community.

And our sincere condolence’s go out to his family at this hard time.

Rexy joined the Cats in 2022 after previously playing for Nollamara Masters FC.

Rexy given his very infectious personality his sense humour and the love of bit of banter always in good spirits ensured he made many friends at the Cats and the broader Masters community and was highly respected through out !

Rexy on the field was forward specialist and loved a goal reguarly showing his silky skills to wrong foot an opponent and bang through a goal or two .

Rexy loved the indigenous footy round and representing the indigenous community with our club indigenous jumper

So this Wednesday 5th of November our first summer training we are asking everyone to wear there indigenous jumper in respect for Rexy.
If you are from another club and want to come down you are more than welcome to come down.

RIP Rexy 💔
You will be missed

Two of our renowned Flatback Turtles, Aaron Howell and Tristan Myers, proudly represented Western Australia at the Men’s 35s AFL Masters National Carnival held in Darwin.

These Pilbara footballers competed against top talent and played a key role in helping WA clinch a thrilling 1-point victory over the Northern Territory in the grand final - marking WA’s first historic away win since 1991.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Town of Port Hedland Community Champions Grant for supporting Aaron and Tristan, allowing them to demonstrate that the Flatback Turtles still have impressive skills on the field.

If you’re interested in joining the Turtles for social football in 2026, watch for announcements on upcoming dates early next year!
