Pie returns to nest: Prodigal son Collihole to play for Merbein next season

Sunraysia Daily

MERBEIN Football Netball Club has secured one of its most promising former juniors as a key recruit for the 2019 SFNL season.

2009 and 2010 Casey Medallist (SFNL’s Under 18s best and fairest) Lachlan Collihole will return to Kenny Park for the first time since 2010 after a long stint in the Northern Territory.

Collihole debuted for Merbein as a 16-year-old in 2009 before kicking five goals a year later in the club’s centenary match against Wentworth in 2010.
