To celebrate Indigenous round on May 17th Ganmain Grong Grong Matong FNC and 1976 premiership player Eddie Motlop have recalled a famous road trip from Darwin to Ganmain ahead of the 1976 season when 2 car loads of Darwin footballers set off on an extraordinary journey landing eventually in Ganmain where they would claim its 16th and final South West FL premiership – their was never a dull moment as the lads navigated its way through outback roads, floods, law enforcement and other obstacles to finally land in Ganmain ! Not to be missed!!

Coaching maestro Wayne Styles was back for his 3rd and final year at Henty - the grand final ledger was square after a win in 1984 and a loss in 1985 - Styles and Henty were as hungry as ever and after a round one setback would go onto to string 19 straight wins and premiership glory on a golden day in the history of the Henty Football Club - it was indeed A Henty Field Day !

The year was 1976 and Ganmain were searching for its 15th premiership in the South West FL - they had a new coach Greg Leech and they had a band of local footballers that would die for their beloved Maroon and White and they then recruited five young men from Darwin on a journey of a lifetime that 50 yrs later has a bond as strong as it was during a remarkable season in 1976 that is etched into the history of a great club and community.
