Brad Robertson will step down as Williamstown CYMS coach at the end of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Steve McNamara Shield season.
The CY’s announced last week that Robertson had made the call after six years at the helm.
Coming to CY’s at the start of the 2019-20 season following a tumultuous few years for the club, Robbo was instrumental in rebuilding the club’s culture, instilling strong core values among the playing group, and creating an environment where players felt welcomed, valued, and genuinely wanted to be a part of what was being built,” the club said.
“Although a first XI premiership ultimately eluded him, Robbo’s time here was extremely successful – leading the first XI to three semi-finals in 2019-20, 2021-22 and 2023-24, overseeing back-to-back second XI premierships in 2021-22 and 2022-23, a third XI premiership in 2021-22, and a women’s XI premiership in 2020-21, with the chance of more to come this season with the third and women’s XI taking part in finals action from this weekend.
“On behalf of the entire Williamstown CYMS family – players past and present, supporters, and the committee, we give sincere thanks to Robbo for his time here, and wish him the best of luck in his future coaching endeavours.”
The club is now seeking expressions of interest for the senior coaching role for next season.
“This is an exciting opportunity to lead a young and motivated senior playing group, most of whom have progressed to senior circlet through our junior program.”
