Championship trophy brings cheer to Werribee Mercy

Western United goalkeeper Jamie Young brought the A-League Championship Trophy to Werribee Mercy Hospital.

Mercy Health is the official Health and Aged Care Partner of Western United Men’s team.

Werribee Mercy Hospital general manager Maree Pane said it was exciting to have the trophy on show and to have Mr Young on site meeting some of his biggest fans among Werribee patients, visitors and staff.

“We are proud of our reputation with the people of the west providing the best in health care,” Ms Pane said.

“It is great to have a partnership and association with Western United and its star defender, who is also recognised as one of the best on field for the Green and Black.

“Our patients, visitors and staff welcomed the opportunity to have photographs taken with Jamie and the silverware, and we also wish both the club’s men’s and women’s teams, the very best for the season ahead.”

Mr Young acknowledged both the personal support of Mercy Health and the support extended to the club as a whole.

“This helps grow and strengthen the community which supports us on game day,” he said.

During the upcoming season, Western United’s newly established women’s team will compete for the first time in the Liberty A-League Women’s competition.
