Unfortunately with a cancellation of our MC, MPNFL CEO Jeff Jones stepped up to this role, and to add a bit of fun to the day, Wendy Goldsack put out an MRS MARGARET TRACY SOS to son Tyson, a player with the Collingwood Football Club to attend. MPNFL WOMAN OF THE YEAR In front of 150 + people An impromptu mother and son interview followed at the MPNFL Women with lots of banter between the two of them. Tyson Making A Mark Luncheon to honoured his mother and the time and dedication Celebrate Women in Sport she puts into her family and she is always putting held at the Sandhurst Club her hand up to fundraise for people she doesn’t on Friday 28 June, 2013, even know. Mrs Margaret Tracy from the Mt Eliza Football Netball Club was given the honour of being the 2013 recipient of the MPNFL Woman of the Year Award. Since 1965 she’s had every Redlegs player (junior & senior) refer to her as Mrs.T, Mrs.Trace, Marg or in most cases it’s just mum. In addition to raising her own 4 sons she also took in 2 of the players (teenagers) & raised them for a number of years… Mrs Tracy is really proud that the family has 5 MEFC life members…herself, her late husband, son’s Haydn, Brian and David. She is also one of only 2 people who are life members of both the senior & junior football clubs. She’s slowed down a little recently, however every home game the Redlegs canteen offers up home- made boiled fruit cake & carrot cake. Congratulations Mrs Tracy

The surprises were the ease in which the Bombers beat the Eagles and the closeness of the match between the Tigers and Demons. Today, we expect that Pearcedale will beat Tyabb, Crib Point will beat Devon Meadows and Rosebud will get the job done against Red Hill. Results will go down like this because the Panthers, Pies and Buds are better teams with more on the line. Pearcedale needs to bounce back from its average performance after half time a fortnight ago. The Panthers also need to keep winning to sure-up their place in the top five. Crib Point needs to keep winning to maintain the pressure on Pearcedale. The Pies are still a chance but need Pearcedale to fall over while they keep winning. ROSEBUD has been belting teams of late and after a week’s rest, will be very keen to keep that form going against RED HILL. Ben Shultz has booted 21 goals in three matches for the Buds and his form is indicative of the form of the club. The Buds are kicking big scores, which is the only way they can be competitive against the top three at the pointy end of the season. They are disciplined enough to run both ways also, which has always been a feature of the Buds football.
