The Flinders Soccer Club
Mental Health Round is dedicated to past player Tom Wood.
Tom played for FSC between 2013 and 2019, across all divisions of the club. In 2017, Tom was FSC’s Div 6 top goalscorer and was a classic number 10 but also not afraid to throw on the gloves and GK if required.
Not only was ‘Wood’ a highly skilled player — great with both feet and a natural competitor, he was a charismatic presence with amazing banter and his own unique sense of humour.
Tom was also a big advocate for mental health, regularly checking in on his mates and those around him. He would share his own experiences and take the time to listen to others.
As a club and community, FSC want to spread the same message as Tom, and advocate for mental health awareness and discussion.
On Saturday the 5th of July 2025 we remembered Tom while raising over $2,000 for Beyond Blue as part of our mental health round.
A medal was presented to the FSC Man of the Match from the First team fixture, between Flinders Soccer Club and Plympton Bulldogs.
Harrison Pine was the first winner of the Tom Wood medal.
A perpetual shield is now displayed inside our clubrooms displaying the name of the winner of this medal each year.
