Well the minor round season has come to
an end, unfortunately not quite the ending we had hoped for but there
was a little bonus with the under 14’s winning and securing 5th
spot. As a result, they will play Yankalilla in the Elimination Final
at 10 a.m. on Sunday the 29th of August at Goolwa. Well
done boys and I ask all supporters to get down there and cheer them
on as best we can.
The under 17’s had another hard day
but realistically when we look at the number of players at South
Adelaide and those given their chance in the ‘A’ grade they have
done well. The positive signs are there for a number of these players
to go on and play years of good senior football for our Club.
The Reserves had another good win that
puts them in good stead for their finals campaign. They finished 2nd
on the ladder and will play Willunga in the Qualifying final at 12.45
p.m. on Saturday the 28th of August at Encounter Bay. Once
again I call for all supporters to go to Encounter Bay to cheer them
on as they seek back to back premierships.
At this point I would like to say a big
thank you and congratulations to Dale Wilson. Dale was good enough to
take on the coaching of the under 14’s even though he was already
coaching the Reserves. As mentioned both of these teams have made the
finals under his guidance which is a huge testament to his ability
and knowledge to coach. Dale has true passion for the game and
dedication to our Club.
Unfortunately the ‘A’ grade failed
to end the season with a win. We had sufficient scoring shots but
failed to put score board pressure onto Myponga who played their
usual passionate game showing more endeavour than us.
The mini’s, modi’s, and under 14’s
presentation evening is this coming Friday the 27th of
August at the McLaren Football Club starting about 6 p.m. It will be
a good opportunity to give the under 14’s encouragement for their
quest on Sunday in the final at Goolwa.
We are hosting the 2nd Semi
Final on Saturday the 4th of September and I ask anyone
who can assist on this day to advise either myself or Danny Schneider
or just turn up on the day. We will need help in the canteen, BBQ’S
and whatever needs to be done around the grounds.
The
Seniors Presentation Lunch is on Sunday the 26th of
September starting midday for a 12.30 p.m sit down lunch. This day
includes the under 17’s, Reserves and ‘A’ grade players and their
families. Life members and sponsors are also welcome. It will be held at
the McLaren Flat Community Club. Tickets will be available at our
Football Club for $40, which include a 3 course meal catered for by our
Major Sponsor,
THE BARN.
Go Eagles!!!!
