For the second year running, Geelong Cats will highlight the contribution regional football clubs make to the game of Australian Football with a commemorative guernsey in Sunday’s game against Port Adelaide.

The guernsey design, which was first worn in last year’s Country Game against Essendon features the colours of every Cats AFL player’s junior or local club – whether Australian Rules or Gaelic Football – in a stripe around waist.

In total, 36 clubs are represented on the guernseys, including AFL Barwon clubs Anglesea, Barwon Heads, Geelong Amateur, Grovedale, Leopold, Newtown and Chilwell, Queenscliff, South Barwon, St Joseph’s and St Mary’s.

The guernsey also features clubs from South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Ireland-based Gaelic Football teams Dingle (Mark O’Connor), Mayo (Oisín Mullin) and County Kerry (Cillian Burke) are also all represented.

St Mary’s and Sunbury Lions are the most represented clubs on the Geelong list, with three players hailing from each. Jack Henry, Ollie Henry and Toby Conway all hail from St Mary’s, with Cameron Guthrie, Zach Guthrie and Mark Blicavs all played their junior football at Sunbury.
