Welcome to another season of football. I hope you had a great Christmas and a happy New Year and are ready for another season of exciting footy with the Tuggeranong Hawks.
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Kym Lovett, and I have recently been appointed as the Tuggeranong Hawks Football Manager. I have spent the past 12 years with the Tuggeranong Lions Juniors and have operated my own family business for over 18 years. I am honoured to now join the team at the Hawks and help the Club achieve success on and off the field.
Pre-season
We have seen really good numbers down at Gordon for training, with between 50 and 60 guys turning up regularly. With a mix of new juniors, last season's players and some familiar faces returning, the boys are looking sharp and enthusiastic for the season ahead. The boys
have their pre-season camp in a few weeks down at Lake Hume (Albury) which will include a practice game, and there are two carnivals that the Club will have a couple of teams in.
There will be an intra-Club trial game on Friday 20 February at Gordon at 6pm so come down and see the boys go through their paces.
The women's team have also started back. They have gained a few new players and are currently concentrating on fitness work so watch out for an improved team in 2009. The ladies are hoping to have a couple of pre-season games as well to get match fit for the season.
Looking ahead
In preparation for the home and away season, we need to start looking at our dedicated army of volunteers. We are looking at who will be returning to help out and what spots we need to fill. There are many areas the Club would love assistance with, particularly on match days.
Whether it's manning the gate or score board, running water, helping in the canteen or ground preparation, your help is valued and contributes towards the ongoing success of the Hawks.
If you haven't assisted before and would like to help out, please call me on 0411 536 392 and I'm sure we can put your skills to use.
Dates to remember
Friday 27 March Jumper Presentation Night. Confirmation and details to follow.
Sunday 29 March Round 1 of season 2009

Kym Lovett
Football Manager
