☠️ Meet The Committee ☠️

Lorraine Brown - Secretary

Lorraine is the long-standing Club Secretary and Life Member. She has been a teacher at Mercedes College since 1986 (that’s why you encounter so many Mercedes girls around the club), and yet another Graduate from Curtin, with a Degree in Applied Science & a Post Grad in Education …but way back when Curtin was called WAIT!

Lorraine has been in this role for around 30 years and seen many reincarnations of the original Pirates club. She started with Pirates Women in 1988 in Nedlands, has played just about every grade except Premier 1 but now just lower turf and Masters.

This is definitely my last year in the Secretary role so please come and have a chat about what it entails…now that computers are small enough to put on our laps the role is not as onerous any longer so don’t be scared. I will still be involved with juniors, as this is the most important aspect of the clubs future, organising ball chasers, umpiring, trophies, sausage sizzles etc

Enjoy the entire (fingers crossed) 2021 season and see you around, on or off the field – or at the Bunnings sausage sizzles 😊 (please sign up for a few hours of fun and laughter)

Adam Piggott - Treasurer

(Nickname - Pig, Piggy, Piggoty)

This is Adam's 9th year on the committee and 3rd year as Treasurer, responsible for “balancing the books”.

He is originally from Alice Springs but grew up in Bunbury. He studied Software Engineering at Curtin University, and is now employed at Bankwest as a Software Engineer for the past 5 years (it sounds fancier than it is 😆).

Adam has played for every male team in the club at some point or time, except Masters (yet)... only because of age restrictions!

To get in contact with Lorraine or Adam please use the emails below.

Tom Reid - President

Tom joined CUHC (then CTP) in 2004 after the 2003 victorious U17 Mazenod Hockey side were coached by Pirates Premier League players Eddie O'Brien, Mike "Jnr" Pickford and Dave "Dougy" Andrews.

He has been a list clogger in and around the men's Premier League squad for the best part of the last 18 years!

Now, stepping up to the role of president for season 2021 in his 6th year of service on the committee.

He studied Chemical Engineering at Curtin (2007) and currently works as a Project Manager for Worley, delivering engineering projects in the mining industry.

Matt Mercer - Vice President

(Nickname: Slim Shady)
It is Matt's 4th year on the committee, began as the Women's Coordinator and coached up until the end of 2019. Took a year off and is now back as Vice President, whose role is to support all aspects of the committee with a particular focus on sponsorship.

Originally from Geraldton and played for Guildford in 2009 before seeing the light and moving across to Pirates in 2011(ish).

Played in every losing grand final throughout my High School years as well as 2 losing seniors Grand Finals (1 with Pirates). Don't play with Matt if you want to win finals!

Graduated from Curtin University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Commerce in Management & Human Resource Management. Now working as a HR Consultant for Local Government.

Matt claims that he should be retired, but somehow continues to play in the 2s (Div 3). Waiting for the day that he is promoted to the Super 3s.
