The Gazette | The Hammond family is the heartbeat of the Thorpdale Football Netball Club, evidenced in its three generations of life memberships.
The Hammond name has been associated with Thorpdale Football Club for decades. Pioneered by life member Gloria Hammond, it was only right that her son Mick and his family would become revered members of the club.
“My mother Gloria ran the canteen when I was a kid. It really began there, my brother played, and I remember going down to watch the fellas play and thought, one day I want to play seniors for Thorpdale,” Mick said.
