Fremantle’s list of official Partner Clubs continues to grow following the addition of Ellenbrook Junior Football Club to the register.
Ellenbrook Eels has been an aligned club since 2004 and, with their 10 year anniversary coming in 2008, opted to mark the occasion by strengthening their affiliation with Fremantle by renaming themselves the Ellenbrook Dockers.
On Monday night at a special general meeting the members of the Ellenbrook JFC unanimously voted to become an official Partner Club of the Fremantle Football Club.
“It has been a pleasure to work with the Ellenbrook community over the past four years,” Community Development Manager David Crute said.
“This decision by the Ellenbrook Junior Football Club to change their name and logo has strengthened their relationship with Fremantle and will guarantee the continued growth of football in the wider Ellenbrook community.”
As an official Partner Club, the Ellenbrook Dockers will ensure the longevity of their relationship with Fremantle and will continue to wear the Fremantle playing strip during matches.
To further develop Fremantle’s relationship with Ellenbrook JFC and the Ellenbrook community, Fremantle have and will continue to provide schools in the Ellenbrook area with playing jumpers.
Ellenbrook JFC is one of the fastest growing junior football clubs in Australia with more than 400 children playing at the club, a 200% increase since 2004.
Fremantle boasts 26 partner clubs and schools that spread far and wide from metropolitan Perth to Europe and the United States of America.
The club’s German based partner club, the Hamburg Dockers, hosted the Australian Football EU Cup 2007 at their home ground of Stadtpark in downtown Hamburg in late September. The tournament saw 12 nations from all over Europe compete to see which country was the European Union’s most powerful Australian Footballing nation.
The Hamburg Dockers have been a partner club of the Fremantle Football Club since 2004 and is one of three internationally based partner clubs of Fremantle. The Cincinnati Dockers (USA) and Dublin Dockers (Ireland) join the Hamburg Dockers as the club’s offshore partner clubs.
Fremantle's Partner Club programme is proudly supported by Members Equity Bank.
