Club News – Shepp Swans Kate Betson to play 300th game!

/ News / April 17, 2025

Club News – Shepparton Swans FNC

Congratulations to one of our club legends Kate (Toy) Betson on reaching your 300 GVL A grade game. What an amazing individual achievement.

Kate had stints at both Shepp United and Shepparton Bears before joining the Swans in 2008.

Throughout her career she has won a best and fairest and received a number of runner up best and fairest, she has represented the league and is an A grade premiership player with the Swans.

Off the court she is equally impressive having multiple roles on the committee as well as coaching B Reserve and in the last two seasons our A grade side.

Well done again on reaching such a significant milestone.
