Swinburne FC’s Reserves have secured the Metro 6 South-East premiership, finishing one point clear of Monash University SC Old Boys after a consistent season.

Across 16 matches, the side recorded 9 wins, 6 draws and just a single loss, scoring 43 goals along the way. The title was confirmed in the final round, with a 0-0 draw against St Kevins in the HDR Cup enough to seal top spot.

The team was guided by co-coaches Nathan Gorga and Harry Lawrence, marking only the second time in club history the Reserves have won a league title. The first came in 2023 under Steven Archer, when the Metro 7 side claimed their division.

After Round 6, Gorga set the tone for the season, saying: “We’re aiming to go all the way this season.” The squad backed that statement, holding their nerve right through to the final whistle.
