The 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Cup Tour stopped in Wyndham late last week, giving locals a chance to get their hands on one of the most famous trophies in Australian sport.

The first stop for the cup was Werribee Toyota

at Hoppers Crossing on Thursday, September 21, before heading to Jubillee Park, home ground of the Wyndham All Abilities Football Club, on Friday September 22.

Members of the club, which caters for footballers with disabilities, were not only able to hold the cup but also got the chance to rub shoulders with former Sydney Swans champion, Josh Kennedy, who was part of the touring party.

Wyndham was one of the last stops in the tour which began in Melbourne on September 4 before travelling through Tasmania, New South Wales and back to Victoria where it finished in Bendigo on September 23.

The next time the cup will be seen is when it is being held aloft by either Collingwood or Brisbane players at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
