Over 50 people - including Blue Bloods, former players and parents - enjoyed an entertaining Blue Bloods luncheon at the Clare Castle Hotel on Saturday prior to the game against Marcellin.

The panel of guest speakers consisted of former Blues skipper Gil McLachlan, former Blues B&F and Hawthorn captain Richie Vandenberg and journalist and grassroots football guru Paul Daffey.
