Congratulations to EDFL U/18 coach Darren Ratten for guiding our league team to three successive victories in the Worksafe VCFL (now community) championships. In the 2014 the EDFL U/18s beat the Mid Gippsland league by 66 points; in 2015 thrashed the Maryborough-Castlemaine league by 105 points and this year completed the hat trick with another 66 point win this time against the Southern Football league. Ratten who is coach of the Neerim South thirds has also tasted success at club level steering the Cats to the 2014 East Division flag and overseeing his charges to the finals in 2015. He has won plenty of respect from league and club officials with his ability to communicate clearly with his players and has drawn heavily on what he has learned in his career with Neerim which has spanned well over a decade and 150 senior games. The good news for the league is Ratten is only too pleased to coach the side next year.
