The Bloods held reunions for six of their premiership teams – including a 60-year celebration of their 1958 under-18 flag.
Five of the members of the 1958 thirds premiership – Bob Lane, Brian Conolon, Ron Masters, Dennis Lee and Mel Boyd – reminisced on their win over Sandhurst.
The day also featured the first reunion of the Bloods’ 1978 under-18 premiership team, 40 years after their success against Kyneton.
Included in the celebrations was a 25-year reunion of the Bloods’ 1993 senior premiership side coached by Peter Curran that belted Sandhurst by 65 points.
