Description: Mr.Lincoln Harris along with Sumesh Sawant started this initiative having a kick-to-kick with some young guys in the neighbourhood where he lived in Mumbai and the sport evolved into an intra city league with around 200 regular players.
‘It’s an absolute joy to be involved in Mumbai’s Aussie Rules program, to see people overcome barriers to participation and to see the sport nourish among young players from all walks of life and nearly all corners of India. Two of the things I am most proud of are helping to organize India’s first annual women’s match and making it possible for many players to travel interstate for the first time.’ - Lincoln Harris
