The attached list was compiled for the website in the absence of a permanent Under 19s honour board on display in the clubrooms. The Under 19s B&F medal is named in honour of another club legend Rob Pearce, who coached Under 19s in 1992-93 and serving as secretary in 1999, and president 2000-04, 2010-11, 2019-20-21.
