Vale Geoff Donnelly

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Bellarine Football Netball League stalwart, Geoff Donnelly.

Following a distinguished involvement with Ocean Grove Football Netball Club, Geoff dedicated nine years of service to the Bellarine Football Netball League Board. During that time, he served as Junior Vice President for two years, Senior Vice President for three years, and President for four years, providing outstanding leadership and commitment to the competition.

In recognition of his significant contribution, Geoff was awarded Life Membership of the Bellarine Football Netball League in 1997.

Geoff also played an important role in helping guide the League through its transition into the Football Geelong era, leaving a lasting legacy on the competition and the broader football and netball community.

On behalf of the Bellarine Football Netball League and AFL Barwon, we extend our sincere condolences to the Donnelly family, Geoff's many friends, and everyone at Ocean Grove Football Netball Club. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
