The Mayne Tigers head into Saturday’s trial game versus Springwood eager to showcase the young talent the club has at its disposal this season. Half the senior side will be made up of teenagers looking to impress the coaching staff in the push for berths for round one. The continued focus on youth will give the Tigers a new look this year and certainly freshen up the older heads in the side in Housego, Ferguson, Weller and new signing Hugh Valentine who crosses over from Sandgate.
Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of the club’s growth this year has been the growing number of players who will wear the yellow and black stripes having graduated from the Mayne under 18 program. This is a fitting reward for the incredible work of all involved in getting an under 18 team back in the competition 3 years ago and providing the kids a pathway to senior football.
Look forward to seeing all our supporters down at Springwood on Saturday (Reserves 12pm / Seniors 2:10pm) to get behind the young tigers as the countdown to round one begins.
Up the Tigers
