Practice matches for the pre-season 2009 have been set.
First will be an "Intra-Club" match this Friday night.....THERE WILL BE NO TRAINING THIS THURSDAY - "TRAINING" WILL BE FRIDAY INSTEAD.....this is the opportunity for you establish where you're going this season - PROVE YOUR WORTH ON THE FIELD and set yourself up for the following practice matches.
March 28th (Saturday) versus "The Basin". Had to be CANCELLED !!!
The City of Banyule, after further pushing back the date allowing us to train on our ground, ALSO directed that there are to be no practice matches on grounds within Banyule till April 1st (...appropriate that it's April FOOLS day)....
Despite our efforts to negotiate the use of A.K.Lines and staying off the ground after the Templestowe practice match on April 4 right up until till Round 2 in the season...THAT'S A WHACKING 21 DAYS THE GROUND GETS A REST...the City of Banyule would not budge. NOTE: There are other Councils negotiating ground use with clubs in this way.
ANYWAY - We had to postpone training on the Thursday till Saturday, March 28th...when we took the opportunity to try a few things out.
April 4th (Saturday) versus "Templestowe" at A.K. Lines Reserve. The Seniors and Reserves will play Templestowe and the Thirds will play "The Basin" Thirds.
Although the "Tempy" Seniors and the Reserves finished at the bottom in 3rd Division in 2008, the Club has been encouraged by by the support and introduction of "new blood" now that the pre-season training has got under way.
"The Basin" Thirds are looking forward to having a real hitout against us - so please make all our visitors welcome.
....getting excited already - can't wait for Season 2009 !!!
