This weekend we celebrate a very well-earned 100 games for Ben Barratt.
It’s taken Ben a little longer than he probably would’ve liked to get here thanks to his fair share of injuries along the way, but after finally crawling his way to triple figures, we couldn’t let the occasion pass without acknowledging one of Edwardstown’s great club people.
Known for his love of food, an impressive number of weekly “family birthday dinners” and his ongoing battle with Bluetooth while in charge of the B Grade music, there’s never a dull moment with Ben around.
Jokes aside, Ben is genuinely one of the nicest people you could have around a footy club.
He’s the kind of person who will always be there for his mates and always have your back. He gets along with everyone and plays a huge role in creating the connection between our A, B and C Grades — something that makes our club what it is.
Ben is a great role model, a great teammate and an even better mate, and his contribution to Edwardstown goes well beyond what he does on the field.
Reaching 100 games after everything his body has thrown at him is an achievement he should be incredibly proud of, and we’re very lucky to have him as part of our club.
Be sure to get down to the B grade final to support the season our boys have worked hard on.
