Sixty goals in four weeks: The prolific country footy forward breaking league records

Lachie Sharp, a 35-year-old footballer playing for Bridgewater Football Netball Club in the Loddon Valley Football Netball League, has set a new record with 148 goals this season, surpassing the previous record of 143 set by Brandyn Grenfell in 2022. Sharp, who previously played for Strathfieldsaye in the Bendigo Football Netball League, began his career as an attacking winger but was moved to the forward line after recovering from a knee injury in 2017. This change led to a remarkable run of success, including winning multiple awards and helping his teams win premierships. As both a player and coach, Sharp has consistently performed at a high level, culminating in a strong finish to the season where he scored 60 goals in four weeks, contributing to several high-scoring victories.
