Daryl Stephens has informed the club of the sad passing of Geoffrey Mitchell.

Geoffrey was an original and very popular “Mudlarker” who served SCFC as a player, committee member and chairman of selectors. He made a significant contribution in enabling the club’s first premiership.

A couple of years later he and his family decided to move north to sunny Ballina. When Geoff retired, he and Irene moved to Perth to join their children.

Unfortunately, Irene passed away last year and later in the year Geoff and his son returned to Victoria on a road trip, and he was able to renew his friendship with many of SCFC friends.

Geoff’s health however was in decline and last week he passed away surrounded by his family.

His funeral is on Monday 30th at 1-30 pm WA time (3-30 pm local time). The service will be live streamed, and for those wishing to participate please register prior to timing above. If you are unable to watch tomorrow, the stream will remain available for a couple of months.
