Old Trinity Grammarians' Sport Clubs

Interest is building in developing an OTG Athletics Club for both dedicated athletes and those who would like to be involved in a casual and social capacity.

As the sun sets on season ’24/25, the boys of the OTGCC are beginning to emerge from their six-month, cricket-induced fugue beaten but not defeated.

The First XI’s season ended in what can only be described as an anti-climax, with our last three games either heated off or washed out to leave us less than a game out of the finals. The 2nd XI made it a week further, but in true OTGCC fashion failed to capitalise on a strong start in their semi-final against Caulfield to fall about 20 runs short of moving on to the big dance.

Despite this, the season was an unequivocal success with a record number of OTGs rotating through both XIs. The emergence of a number of Under 19s was particularly pleasing, reinforcing the critical pipeline that exists between the club and the school.

The strength of this relationship was no more evident than during the exhibition T20 played between an OTGCC side and the schoolboy First XI on a Tuesday night at Bulleen. Played in great spirits, the old bulls scraped over the line against our younger (and frankly more talented) counterparts composed of what we hope to be a number of future recruits.

While we initially bonded over our love/hate of cricket, it was the post-game dinner catered by our very supportive sponsors Chargrill Charlie’s that truly brought the two sides together.

I would like to send a massive shout-out to head curator Brandon D’Amore and his team out at Bulleen for all their work this season. We consistently have the best facilities in the league and this is due to the hard-work, passion and skill of Brando and his team. Our club simply couldn’t function without their support.

The annual silly season now begins for our boys, with a number of social functions planned over the next month or so. Stay tuned for updates on these in the next edition!

It has been another fantastic start to the 2025 season, and as usual we have kicked off with our Annual Golf Day at Green Acres. Over 100 past players, current players and friends took to the course with some very mixed results.

Some unfortunate news this season, in that we have been unable to field a Women’s side due to low numbers, which is a sad state of affairs in our Women’s program. What it does tell us is that we must improve off the field and get more professional in our approach to Women’s football. We will get things right and re-build, but it may take us a year or so to do this.

Our Men’s program on the other hand is bristling with training fervour and large numbers are attending at every session. Our Player’s Launch at the Tower Hotel in Hawthorn was a great night to see what the season will promise, and practice matches are in full swing.

As the 2024 year came to a close, OTGHC saw fantastic results across both the summer and indoor Term 4 competitions. Our indoor team placed fourth at the end of a gruelling season, whilst the summer lads finished in third. Both teams played in great spirits, having our highest Term 4 turnout, despite some warmer weather.

With 2025 well underway, the club took some time to rest and has moved towards preseason for the 2025 winter season. After a strong performance from both teams last season, we are keen to continue improving and leave our mark in the upcoming season.

We are offering incentives to the Class of 2024 who sign
up with us and encourage anyone interested in playing
with us to contact Tom on 0487 346 042 or email otghockey@gmail.com

As we begin the 2025 season, the Old Trinity Grammarians’ Soccer Club (OTGSC) wraps up an eventful and rewarding preseason. We’ve welcomed new faces to the club, strengthening both our senior and reserves squads while also reinstating a Sunday league team, further expanding our competitive presence.

After a brief break over Christmas, January and February saw an intense schedule of matches against strong state league sides across Victoria, pushing our squad to new heights. The OTGSC also progressed past the first round of the Hahn Australia Cup with a bye, setting up a clash against Pakenham United FC. Despite a hard-fought battle, Pakenham claimed victory with a 2-0 result.

The club is thrilled to welcome new sponsors, including the Skinny Dog Hotel and Elia Greek Tavern, both of whom have already been integral in launching our social and community events, kicking off with a successful team dinner at Elia’s and first official social event at the Skinny Dog Hotel in early March. Looking ahead, we have a packed calendar of events to bring the club and community together. Please feel free to visit @oldtrinitysc on Instagram to see all social event details.

Additionally, changes within the committee signal fresh ideas and a renewed focus on the club’s future. We welcome Patrick Booth (Treasurer), Eddie Ansbro (Head of Socials) and Christopher Liosatos (Secretary) who join the committee team.

If you are interested in joining our playing squad or becoming a part of the club on a social aspect, please contact Lino Salzano (President) by email (linosalzano4@gmail.com) or Christopher Liosatos (Secretary) (christopherliosatos0@gmail.com).

The OTG Water Polo Club has had an immensely successful start to 2025, with two teams currently playing in the ‘Summer Splash’ season. The club’s inclusive, social culture with a strong focus on playing together and getting to know each other out of the pool has seen a record number of OTGs playing games at MSAC and attending trainings at the Trinity pool. The club expects to run a third team in the next season starting at the end of July. Players of all experience and skill levels are welcome.
