an interesting thing has come up with one brother winning a mail medal in the A grade and another brother winning the B grade medal in the same year. chris prime won the GFFL mail medal playing for tumby bay and his brother andrew prime won the B grade medal playing in the EEFL for ports this year. has this happend anywere else? comments please

They Didnt win them in the same year but the maynard brothers have ten mail medals between them Rodney has six and brenton four

Trevor Johncock(Mallee Park) & Roger Johncock(Koonibba) 1995
David Schell(Lock) & Phil Schell(Kapunda) 1984

this one seems a bit different as one was playing A grade and one was playing B grade.

Brothers winning mail medals all the time
The Skeers at Hatherleigh won U17 B grade and league in 1964

Best on Hill may be an only child.

Darryl Pearce won at least one A grade medal in the Hills, and brother Kim won numerous B Grade medals with Kersbrook, but not sure whether they ever won in the same year or at the same club.

Brenton and Kym Smith from Strathalbyn have won a couple between them 1979 and 1981. In 1979 Kym won and Brenton was runnerup.

I think Kym also won Medals with Robe and Victor Harbor as well.

Can't remember if it happened in same year but Corey Mclennon (Koonibba) and Shaun Mclennon (Whyalla) and not sure what year??

Peter Kleinig won the BLG in 73 I think & his brother John won a couple of years later in RMFL. Both A Grade.

Yeah Darryl won the A grade in Div 2 Hills and Kym the B grade in the same year (1989 or 90?). Now Kym's lad Brad has won back to back medals in Hills Country.

The Davey brothers (one was nicknamed Gunny, and was the father of AFL players Aaron and Alwyn) were both champion country footballers in the 60's and 70's and i think both won Mail Medals over on the Eyre Peninsula.

Don't know exactly but I think it was about 10 between them.

Exelby brothers - Daniel in Southern League Marion 1999, Brett in Southern League Marion 2001 & also in Riverland Renmark couple of years ago I believe.

Sorry to fire up this old post again but when I stumbled across it and saw there was no mention of Peter Kitschke and his brother (John?) I thought it was worth paying homage! Peter won 7 medals at Jamestown and his brother won 5 or 6 also. (Peter was the bloke once generally agreed on in a post on this forum as the best country footballer never to have played league footy.)
Fair effort hey? I think there was a 3rd brother that played mainly B grade.
Either John (?) or the other brother is the father of Damian Kitschke ex Surt / St Kilda.

Manfield brothers, Matt in Clare and Sticks in Whyalla

Willson brothers from Dudley United on KI, Rhett in 2004 and Clayton 4 times!!!

from memory bernie veide from port noarlunga in the 80s won the medal with the last vote of the count from his brother chris, also from porties. the two shared the ruck duties.

Richard Jones and Mark Jones
