The Club proudly wrapped up another successful Multicultural Round with a special celebration at Sunday’s game.

Essendon’s ongoing work with the Indian community highlighted the afternoon’s events with close to 320 guests from the ‘Sri Guru Singh Gurdwara Sahib Temple’ located in Cragieburn attending the function.

The guests were treated to a delicious Indian banquet and traditional dances from a number of different groups, before watching the thrilling Sunday afternoon game.

It was also a big weekend for the Cragieburn Bombers Auskick group.

The kids were invited to train at Bomber HQ on Saturday following the Captain’s Run, learning skills from several Essendon players including Orazio Fantasia, Matthew Leuenberger, Brendon Goddard and Mathew Stokes.

Following the training the kids were given a personal tour of the facilities by Shaun McKernan and Will Hams.

They were also invited to be part of the Guard of Honour on Sunday and welcomed the boys out onto the ground.

Essendon’s first year player, Alex Morgan, joined in the weekend’s celebrations.

Morgan, whose parents were both born in India, treated teammate Mason Redman to a traditional meal at Café Saffron on Friday afternoon – teaching Redman about his heritage and culture.

The partnership between the communities has now entered its fourth year.
