•

Chief Commissioner John Morris The 1988 season has been one of both change and consolidation, with the underlying feature being greater stability and progress.

After several changes in 1987, this year has seen the ongoing commitment from all of our Commissioners. The heavy workload they are undertaking, coupled with their reasoned decision making, gives both myself and football officials throughout the state, great confidence in their ability to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.

A highlight of the year undoubtably was the performance of our Senior State of Origin Team in the Bi-Centennial Australian Championships held in Adelaide in March. The determination and effort shown by all and their unbridled enthusiasm to do well for their home state produced marvellous results for New South Wales and the code in our state. The standing and respect in which N.S. W. is held by officials and supporters throughout Australia was particularly furthered by this group of young men.

Rod Gillett Ray Dignan Ron Thomas John Yates The continued support of Junior Associations and Officials has maintained the high standard of our Junior State Sides, and their importance is of no lesser standing than their senior counterparts. The untiring efforts of workers EXECUTIVE STAFF in junior football throughout the state ensures the progression and growth of our code for the future.

The fine work of Ian Granland, our Chief Executive, and his diligent staff has been of considerable value throughout the year. Our inter-relation with the Sydney Swans has again been of mutual benefit, and the continued flow of financial support from them has allowed much to be acheived in the areas of development and ongoing promotion of Australian Football in this state. The efforts of staff in the Swans office have also been of great assistance.

Whilst I am pleased with the consolidation and improvement in the management of football in this State during 1988, I look forward with a keen eye to the unification into the fold of more of our Southern Leagues in the years to come. The zest and youthful exuberance of those in the Northern areas, complimented by the traditions and experience of those in the South, can see football in New South Wales going from strength to strength. I am hopeful that all will work towards this end, as just in the case of our State of Origin boys, only a united effort with New South Wales football rather than individual prejudices in mind, will see football as the winner in our great Chief Executive Operations Manager Development Manager state. Ian Granland Tim Johnson Craig Davis May I also take this opportunity to sincerely thank the New South Wales Government through its Department of Sport and Recreation arm for its enthusiastic support of our code by both consultative and financial assistance. □ ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
