.CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

:3,,,. The improvement of football throughout the State during the year, after a wet start, was encouraging to the Commission, giving positive feedback to justify the structures and strategy put in place.

Although, unfortunately, losing the services of hard working Com-missioner Ray Dignan, it never ceases to amaze the Organisation of the good people that come forward to fill the gap. This rote has been filled by former President of Wagga Juniors, Colin Kohlhagen. Furthermore, also the departure of Chief Executive Ian Granland was a tremendous blow to the League because during lan's tenure in the position the professionalism and financial stability of the Australian Football League increased to a state where we are now - a creditable member of the National Structure. The work of the Commission, once again, has seen significant gains in the evolution of our great game in New South W~les.

Highlights of 1990 were many with the most exciting being the magnificent State of Origin victory over Victoria on that night of nights, May 22, where I feel this State finally came of age. Other achievements included the fifth placing of our Teal Cup boys in Brisbane, while the Combined High School Team reached the final only to be beaten by eight points by Victoria, which was a huge result. While the Under 15 Shell Cup team travelled to Tasmania with a mission to arrest the Arthur Bridgewater Trophy from Queenslaad, which they did, a result thought unachieveable before the Championship began. While the establishment of the Statewide Umpiring Network re-enforced the priority to place umpiring on an equal footing with other aspects of our game.

The second year of what is to be ,a long and mutually beneficial relationship, with our major sponsor aBE Insurance has been most exciting. The relationship between our football League and sponsor is far beyond that of a corporate arrangement it is the development of each other, to reach the goal set at the start of the year. The League thanks the Board and Staff of aBE Insurance for their enthusiastic involvement and assistance.

1 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT The Australian Football League is to be praised for their visionary plan and ongoing commitment to the growth and nurturing of Australian Football around the Nation, and in particular for contributing funds for 1990 and their ongoing two year agreement to assist New South Wales Development. Our thanks are extended to Ross Oakley, Alan Schwab and the other Commission- ers, Greg Durham, Kevin Sheehan and Staff for their invaluable assistance.

The N.S.W. State Government must be thanked for their contribution, through the Capital Assis- tance Program, which receives funds from some of the State's major Companies enabling the

Department of Sportj Recreation and Racing to assist in putting in place programmes which helps the presentation of Aussie Rules in this State.

I look forward to the rest of the Nineties with great enthusiasm and optimism. The great commitment to open the communication lines with the 2SER FM Radio Show, the Wagga T.V. Sport Show and our game receiving greater support from media outlets gives rise to a feeling that great heights will be reached by the end of the century.

On behalf of the Board, I also wish to extend congratulations to Craig Davis on his appointment as General Manager of the League. Craig has already demonstrated his keen enthusiasm and dedication to football.

We are already seeing immediate results of his unbounding drive and energy and, along with his team of Tim Johnson and the Development Staff, Administration Manager Donna Burke, the Administration Staff and David Levens, State Director of Umpiring, I look forward to a successful year ahead. The work of the staff has been exemplary, far beyond that is required, and this has resulted in a better understanding c'nd servicing of football throughout the State. The Football Family thank you.

There will be three separate squads, the M.I.A. area (70 chil- dren), Wagga area (70children) and also the Murray Border area (70 children). I see this as an exciting venture into the development of Australian Football as it provides more opportunities for those who haven't had that in the past. This is a statewide setup with ten different regions being represented.
