FORMER Heywood Football Netball Club president Craig Keating has been inducted as the inaugural life member of AFL Barwon recently, receiving the honour at the commission’s recent Annual General Meeting in late November.

Keating spent a decade as chair of the commission – which oversees three football and netball leagues (Geelong FNL, Bellarine FNL and Colac & District FNL) along with junior football, female football and representative football and netball competitions – and finished up in the role at the end of 2022.
