Coaches We have to say a big thanks to all our coaches who have got their teams off to a sensational start this season. A special big thanks to Deano & few other Dads & players who have been visiting the multi-cultural boys at St Pauls school & doing some one on one skills training. Also a big thanks to Senior Chairman Adrian “Bear” Wallin & Senior Coach Tony King who have done cameos helping the regular coaches train our U10s & U11s. The kids love the seniors helping out & we will see more of this in the future. However, don’t forget to be reciprocal & bring the family to come & watch some senior games to cheer on their new mentor coaches.
Sponsor Thanks A big thanks to new club sponsor U6 Dad Luke Aston & his company OzWide Freight for supplying new U9 Guernseys & fence signage. Very much appreciated.
