Glenelg win 2023 Stanley H. Lewis Trophy

Glenelg Football Club is proud to be awarded its 11th Stanley H. Lewis Trophy as the best performing club across the 2023 SANFL competitions.

This is the Club’s third trophy in five years, with a final tally of 3625 points being bolstered by the League’s minor premiership and the Reserves top-of-the-table position.

Glenelg CEO, Justin Scripps, said it is an honour to win this award and a reflection of the Bays’ year-long efforts.

“The Club values the Stanley H. Lewis Trophy highly, and we are very proud to have won it three times in the past five years. This award helps validate to us that we’re continuing to build some really good momentum with creating a high performing environment and culture,” he said.

“It is also a great recognition for our people who live and breathe our purpose and values as a footy club.”

The Tigers most recently claimed the Trophy in 2021 and 2019, while other notable years include 2010, 2009, 1990, 1981, 1976, 1975, 1973, and 1969.

The Trophy, named after past SANFL Chairman Stanley Heathcote Lewis, has been awarded since 1962 to the club which has displayed excellence across all grades of football.

Points are awarded for each win across the minor round, with 100 points allocated for a Men’s and Women’s League victory, 50 points for the Reserves and Under-18s and 25 points for the Under-16s.

In the event of a draw, half of the points allocated for a win in that grade are awarded to each club involved.
