On this day seven years ago Ben Searle made his senior debut in a big victory for the Waters.

Trav Gordon was the star down forward with four goals while the ever-reliable backline trio of Jayden Murphy, Daniel McLachlan and Hayden Schroeder were named best on ground.

“Searley” has since gone on to play 93 senior matches, including the 2016 premiership – a season in which he was named in the Division 2 Team of the Year.
