Kybybolite roars as former Tiger Lachie Neale wins Brownlow Medal with Lions
Growing up in the tiny farming town of Kybybolite, near South Australia’s border with Victoria, the young Lachie Neale was “always a little sports-mad boy”.
Key points:
- Neale played junior football with the Kybybolite Tigers in SA’s south-east
- The club hopes his Brownlow win will inspire them to a long-awaited premiership
- His mother and father say their son was always devoted to sport
“He was very young when he pulled on his first pair of boots,” his mum Amanda Taylor said.
“He was certainly kicking the football or bouncing the basketball or bowling the cricket ball around the house and the garden.”
His dad Robbie Neale remembers his son “was never much help in the sheep yard”.
