The Macquarie University Warriors are pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Lyall as Head Coach of the Warriors Under 18's in 2010. Jason, otherwise known as "Fabio", was a key player in the Warrior First Grade side in 2009 playing games 11 games and kicking 14 goals before a serious shoulder injury prematurely ended his season.
Jason joined the Warriors in 2009 from Pennant Hills AFC where he played both his Junior & Senior Football. Whilst having no prior coaching experience he was targeted by the Warriors Senior Coaches due to his in depth knowledge of the game and ability to communicate effectively with our younger players.
He had this to say about his recent appointment: "I am looking forward to working with the talented young players at the Club and help build the Warriors new strategic alliance with Pennant Hills which will see two very competitive teams". "I really enjoyed my first season at the Club with the good blokes in first grade, excellent facilities and it will be good to work with the other coaches who are all pretty young and energetic".
In addition to naming a strong Head Coach, MUAFC are pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Robinson as U18's Coaching Director of the Warriors Under 18's in 2010.
Paul will join the Warriors after coaching stints at Willoughby JAFC and St Aloysius in the Independent Schools Competition.
It is the Clubs view that he will provide a solid sounding board and mentor for newly appointed Under 18's Coach Jason Lyall whilst also targeting a number of players to bring across and boost our depth.
Whilst a new name to many, Paul is actually a former player of the Club and played a few games in the mid 1980's for the Warriors or the Kookas as they were back then. It is probably fair to say the only guy who remembers Paul would be Wrighty, the MUAFC Almanac.
Jason and Paul are now putting together a strong off field team to assist them on game days with further announcements to be made in the New Year.
The Mac Warriors Under 18's will commence training Tuesday 26th January 2010 on the Northern Oval at MU.
