SWFL 2022: Country championship coach Chris Kinninmont announced as new league coach for Eaton Boomers

After just missing out on reaching the South West Football League finals in 2022, the Eaton Boomers are already looking to achieve success in 2023. Chris Kinninmont has been announced as the new league coach for the Eaton Boomers, taking over from Darren Rigby for the 2023 SWFL season. Kinninmont is already a well-known figure within the South West Football League after playing for Carey Park in the 1990s and coaching the league’s representative team to a Nutrien Ag Solutions country football premiership in July. Eaton Boomers Football Club took to social media to make the announcement, stating the club was “looking forward to supporting Chris and the team in 2023”. In a statement posted to their Facebook page, the club also thanked former coach Rigby for his efforts. “We wish to thank Darren Rigby for all his work over the past three years, especially as he took on the role in trying circumstances,” the post read. “We thank Riggers for the support he provided in the development of our young playing group over his three-year period.” Eaton Boomers finished sixth in 2022, losing four games by less than a goal, along with a draw. They were just two points outside of fifth place, missing out on a finals berth. It comes after Busselton recently announced league coach Daniel Delaney and premiership women’s player-coach Rennie Meadmore would be staying on for 2023.
