Grant Bolling’s PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Once again it was a great year for the Milperra Colts, we had our ups So, with another season over we look forward to season 2020. This will be one of our biggest yet with the club turning 50. I and downs like most years but overall it was a great year. hope everyone can be part of our huge celebration and make 2020 a year to remember.
For the first time in Colts history we had two female teams. It was the I would like to take this opportunity to thank some very special people. Barry Ward in particular who has worked tirelessly this second year for our League Tag girls and the first year for our Under year to get our clubhouse to where it is today. Without him it just wouldn’t be where it is now. He has been a great support to 14’s girls tackle side. Our League tag side made the Grand Final. They me especially when I was unwell. I didn’t have to worry knowing the club was in great hands. Also, to Dave Harrigan who didn’t take away the win, but we were incredibly proud of each and took on a new role this year and has been a huge help to me, my executive who are amazing and the wonderful committee every one of them. Our Under 14’s made the final with 9 players that who are so committed to our club and to the brilliant helpers that made everything just happen during the year. You are all had never played Rugby League before. An outstanding effort girls! very special people!
The Under 9’s Div 3 had a great year this year making the grand final If anyone is thinking about joining the committee, please do it, you won’t regret it, we are a family and look after each other. but did not get the grand prize . This team has come a long way in a I hope everyone has safe and happy off season, enjoy the Christmas break and we look forward to catching up with you all in short time 2020 I have seen this team grow from strength to strength over the last 2 years , Scott and his coaching staff should be proud of their efforts.
Our Under 11’s Div 3 took out the Grand Final in style with a very convincing win. Kevin and crew have been working so hard that it was wonderful to see this day happen for them all.
Our Under 15’s Gold made the Grand Final as well but unfortunately didn’t take out the win however the effort the boys put in was commendable with many of the boys being chosen for representative football with Canterbury. Well done to all of you.
They have a great bunch of kids and I am sure they will get the results they deserve.
There has been a lot of work going on around the club as many of you would’ve seen. The male and female toilets have been upgraded, the clubhouse being refurbished, a new canteen and a new score board.
Many of these have been on our wish list for years. We also purchased a new Gator which has been a huge help for set up and pack up.
We had some great events this year also. Our Legend’s lunch was first class with Matty and Andrew Johns as well as Brett Finch. Our Gala Day was a huge success, one for the record books. Everyone had a wonderful day and the fireworks at the end finished off what was one of the most fun days the club has ever had. The kids faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
An extremely sad part of the year was the passing of one of our Under 11 players Jai Bruynius-Greene. Jai’s parents asked if they could hold his funeral service at the club and this was an absolute honour to farewell Jai at one of his favourite places. Jai was able to attend his teams Grand Final only a few days before he passed and held the winner’s Trophy high. He was so proud and there wasn’t a dry eye at the game. His teammates coach and everyone at Milperra Colts will miss Jai so much. He was a character with a great sense of humour and was so important to the Under 11’s. His family is always welcome at our club with open arms.

Milperra Colts IN THE NEWS!
The Milperra Colts received some international press coverage late in the season due to the success of two former players. Steve Price (Warrington Wolves) and Justin Holbrook (St Helens) went head to head in the prestigious Challenge Cup Final in the English Super League.
The pair were interviewed by several news outlets and took a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about the time they won the Under 7 Grand Final in 1983. The team was managed by Steve’s father “Chicka“ Price and coached by Steve’s uncle Neil Johnson. Ultimately, it was Price’s Warrington Wolves who won the match at the famed Wembley stadium, with the underdogs defeating St Helens 18-4.
It would prove to be a successful season for Justin Holbrook however, with Saints winning the Minor Premiership and defeating Salford to claim the Grand Final. It proved to be a fitting finale for Holbrook, with, Justin signing to coach the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL next season. We wish both men continued success in their coaching.
DID YOU KNOW? The St.Helens connection isn’t just limited to Justin Holbrook , with Colts Vice President Barry Ward representing Saints in 2002. Similar to Justin, Barry’s team were defeated in the Challenge Cup Final, but would prove victorious in the Grand Final against Bradford.

In loving MEMORY
During the season, the Milperra Colts lost a much-loved member of our community, Jai Bruynius-Greene.
Jai first came down to Killara in 2017 to join our under 9’s team. At the time I had no idea of the impact this cheeky kid with the big smile would have on our team, the coaches and parents. His Lion like courage and bravery was also hidden.
In defence Jai would meet the attackers the same way he fought Cystic Fibrosis, head on, shoulders first and around the legs.
He'd get knocked down but would courageously get up, brush himself off and get ready to go again. Unfortunately, as the season progressed Jai's illness got worse, but he continued to play and train. Jai didn't have to train but taking short cuts wasn't his way. A glimpse of the lion emerged. Eventually Jai’s condition would end his season and prevent him from playing in the Grand final he had worked so hard for.
Jai was fortunate enough to receive a double lung transplant which should have given him a chance at a new future but would likely stop him from playing footy again. Incredibly after only a year of recovery Jai ran out in the first game of the 2019 season. The Lion had emerged. That moment will never be forgotten. The little champion had overcome incredible odds to fulfil his dream of playing footy. In true Jai fashion he believed he didn't deserve the Player of the Day Trophy that he won that day.
He only played five more games before Cystic Fibrosis would hospitalize him again. It looked like Jai would miss another Grand final.
Jai overcame the odds once again and supported by doctors, nurses and paramedics Jai finally made it to his first Grand final day. With the team's help Jai received the Winner's Trophy. The cheeky bugger got the ambulance to go through Drive thru Maccas, a first for an ambulance.
Jai's memory will live on, his story a true inspiration to all. His legacy will be that he helps other kids find the strength within themselves to face all challenges.
Jai called me coach, but he was the one doing all the teaching. We will never forget you Champion. RIP.

John Abouhaidar’s UNDER 6B’S COACHES REPORT
Once again another awesome season, the kids and families really loved and enjoyed their footy this season. Always a pleasure to gather with the kids and parents at training and on game day and catch up. The support and respect I receive from the parents and children is amazing and humbling.
It is my pleasure to coach all my children, the parents have shown full trust in me to teach and coach their kids the way I feel right which I am truly grateful for. I heard Craig Bellamy say once, “what makes a great coach is great players”. I thought that was so true, the kids are so well disciplined, respectful and have great attitudes and values which come from their parents and make me appear to be a good coach LOL, but in fact it is all them.
I’d like to thank all the coaching staff, Angie with all her managing tasks and always making sure the boys are there at training and pulling them up every time they get out a line LOL. Richard and last but not least Danny, who is ever reliable and always willing to try out new drills and my crazy ideas, always supporting me with what I want to do with the team. Always willing to have long yarns about how we can improve the team and individuals. We have a laugh from time to time about our expectations and remind ourselves what age group they are. The team gained so much momentum towards the back end of the season and I didn’t want it to end, really looking forward to 2020. We have a whole lot of new ideas and things we want to work on with the kids next year.
I hope to see all the same playing group there next year. Once again thank you to all involved for a great season. Coach John

Tomah Shepherd Phoenix Price-Taimana As anticipated and expected this My quiet achiever, without fail or was Tomah’s break out year. From question always does what I ask being one of the best at training of her. Super tuff and holds her last year week in and week out own with the boys. Very and not been able to get him to impressive considering she is translate that on the field. It was a playing up a year. She has always massive transformation, scoring been a natural runner of the ball well over 15 tries and really but showed massive improvement getting involved. He promised me this year particularly in the at the end of last season that he tackling department, excellent would play footy this year, he most attitude and a real pleasure to definitely kept that promise. Super coach. proud of how far he has come.

Jacob Abouhaidar Took big steps forward, confidence grew throughout the season. This was evident in a number of long distance tries where he swerved and skewed his way through the opposition, as well as his willingness to get up and play the ball quickly after some big tackles. His attitude to defence also improved, with many times him being the first off, the line to meet the ball runner. Very proud of his progress.

Carl Strauss’ UNDER 6W’S COACHES REPORT
2019 was a great and memorable year for the under 6 W team who were all playing in their first ever season of Rugby League. They were fortunate to be part of the Superhero Round and the season was capped off with the inaugural Terry Lamb Gala Day at Belmore Oval. They played 6 short round robin matches on the iconic ground while they met the legend himself and each player received a signed jersey!
The team showed great potential and displayed they were quick learners right from their first trial game. They played tough and fair throughout the season, there were many highlights with awesome efforts, scintillating tries, sensational tackles and passion exhibited each game by all the players. The emphasis being fun, active participation for all and good team spirit.
It was satisfying and a pleasure to coach such an energetic and enthusiastic playing group while seeing their skills and teamwork develop. It wasn’t all smooth sailing though with a mix of cheers, tears and much needed beers along the way! (In that order, with the beers consumed responsibly of course as an end of season team lunch celebration at the local club).
Thank you to Jacqui for managing the team, her positivity, organisation, regular communication and updates for the side. Thank you to Dan for being trainer, for filling in as coach when necessary, your knowledge and experience is appreciated. Thank you to Charbel for filling in as trainer on the Superhero and Gala Days and for his “motivational pep talks” for the team. Special mention to coach John from the under 6 B team for his help, support and encouragement for our new team too. All the parents/families have been amazing and supportive. We have been blessed to have formed a cohesive and united team. Special mention to those who regularly helped the team at training, pre - game such or assisted in any way such as Mitch, Ash, Henare and Co. Thank you to all the committee members and volunteers for all their time and hard work to make this all possible and for the team to have such opportunities.
Finally, I hope all the kids had an enjoyable and positive first year experience playing Rugby League. Hope to see you all back next year!

Kane McBride’s UNDER 8’S COACHES REPORT
What a season the Milperra Colts u/8’s delivered in 2019. Every single player in the side should be proud of the effort both on the field and at training.
At the beginning of the season we were struggling to find the numbers to take the field, starting the pre-season with only 6 players, but we hung in there and with the great support from some key member of the club we managed to grow that number to 11 just a few weeks into the season.
Many games this year were won off the back of our great defence, the whole team really stepped it up to show some heroic toughness and stamina throughout. For a group that was only just getting to know each other the team spirit amongst all the kids was strong!
The team was brilliantly managed by Samantha Ross who did a great effort in organising the scoring, administrative and communications side of the season. On behalf of the kid’s parents and myself, thanks heaps for all your hard work Sam! The Training and Coaching was done together by Andrew Renton and Myself. Andrew is a great asset to the club and the kids, always there to help in any way that he can, somebody give that man a medal will ya? Thanks, from the whole team and a big thanks from me mate, I couldn’t have done this year without you!
Thanks to all the parents and families for being part of the team and part of the club.

Stephen Crawford’s UNDER 10’S COACHES REPORT
After an unsettled start to the year due to players departing and new ones arriving, the under 10s took to the mod field for the first time. After a few weeks of the extra space in the field being “no man’s land”, we started to discover that we could use our forwards to grind up the middle and spread it wide and get around our opponents.
The new players began to adapt well to the team and the club culture, and we started to develop some real go forward. We tried many combinations throughout the year in the halves and the players fit really well into their positions. Due to an unfortunate draw, we ended up facing a few tough teams who questionably should have been in a higher division.
We finished the season just shy of the finals but had a few of the results which were really close gone in our favour, we would have had a real shot this year. Looking forward to working with this team next year. Thanks to all of the kids, the parents, and the assistant coaches and our manager for a great season.

Kevin Chambers’ UNDER 11’S COACHES REPORT
A coming of Age. 2019 was a very memorable year for the young colts from the u11s.
Devastatingly we lost our teammate Jai Bruynius-Greene. The little warrior had fought a long battle with Cystic Fibrosis which he lost on the 21/8. Jai had recovered from a double lung transplant and amazingly was able to take the field in our first game of the season against the Bankstown Bulls. It was the most courageous effort I’ve witnessed on a footy field. However, his condition worsened, and Jai spent most of the season in hospital. Fortunately, Jai was able to witness the highlight of our season, a victory over the Moorebank Rams in the Grand final. Jai’s funeral at Killara was a special day and a true indication that the Colts are a real Family Club. Thank-you to all for the kind thoughts, soothing words, generous donations of time and gifts, I have never been prouder of my club.
On the field the team took their football to another level. Our defence was aggressive and was backed up with good line speed. Our attack was exciting with good ball movement. The first receivers were taking the ball at speed bringing our runners onto the ball. The forwards ran ‘*’ and ‘y’ plays to open up the opposition defences. This would take place with the understanding that the two most important things we needed to play well was Effort and Attitude. Of course, this was only possible because of the great attitude the boys showed at training.
A highlight of the season was the team’s first footy trip. We participated in the National Primary Games held in Tamworth. The team played 5 games on Saturday and 4 games on Sunday against teams form across NSW and one team from Brisbane. We finished the weekend a credible 3 suffering only 1 loss and 1 draw. It was a fantastic bonding experience for our team, and they returned to Sydney a much closer and fitter footy team only weeks before our Finals campaign. Thank you to all who contributed to our fundraising for our trip and to the Club for their generous support.
The boys were in peak form coming into our finals campaign. The major semi-final was against our arch nemesis the East Hills Bulldogs who had defeated us in a previous Grand final. Fortunately, we were too strong on the day and a strong victory set up a surprising clash with the Moorebank Rams. The boys were not to be denied and played well again to win the Title 28-6. Congratulations boys on a fantastic season which your efforts on the training paddock produced success on the field.

Matt Walshe’s UNDER 13’S COACHES REPORT
The season of 2019 for the u13 was a great season for all involved. This was the first time I have coached this team and the first time I have coached an international age side. With a total of 9 new players joining our side from last year’s team, the boys didn’t take long to gel, and the wins started to come. We have a big mobile forward pack and good backs in support.
It was a pleasure to watch the boys improve as a team and individually each game as the season went on.
It was great effort to make the semi-finals finishing 3rd on the ladder. Unfortunately, in the first semi-final we were beaten by Saint Christopher’s which that team went on to win the grand final. I’m sure in the near future with the team and players we have we can go all the way.
I would like to thank all players and parents involved this year. I would especially like to thank trainers David Hargreaves, Josh Hargreaves, Scott Lane and manager Vanessa Walshe for all their help and support this year.
I hope everyone returns next year for another great season. Go Colts!

Niu Faioso’s UNDER 14 GIRLS’ COACHES REPORT
2019 was a fantastic season for our 1st Under 14s girl’s rugby league team. The girls showed tremendous improvement throughout the season. We had 14 players in our team this season and nine of them had never played rugby league before but if you got the chance to watch one of their games you would find it hard to pick out the nine.
All players showed up to training willing to learn and take onboard everything to do with our game and it would push them to their limits physically. Their attitude and behaviour as a team was great on and off the field. The girls ended with a great bond in the playing group, they believed and had trust in each other, this would result in a great 1st season with the girls coming 3rd overall and ended up going down to Eaglevale in the Preliminary finals.
I am so happy with our playing group from where we started to how we finished, this team has an exciting future and is ready to take it to the next level. I am so looking forward to seeing what this playing group brings next season.
Coaching is a team effort, everyone involved with the U14 Girls team are equally responsible for our performances and achievements. Many thanks to Lisa with managing our side week to week making our team run smoothly. Katie “The Man” I like to call her was our blue and yellow shirt and with club duties and other teams duties she was committed to, she always made sure she was there for the girls, all your work throughout the season for the girls has not gone unnoticed. Melissa also was a great help as Trainer/Blue shirt.
Thanks to all the parents for trusting me to coach and guide your daughters, it’s a responsibility I take seriously and love. See you all in 2020.

I would like to start by saying how great the boys went this year, even though we played nearly every game short.
They turned up every week and gave a hundred percent effort and never gave up.
They really showed what having pride in your jersey means. We are all so proud of you. Well done boys!!! I would like to thank my trainers Nik and my dad Steve for their help.
Also, I would like to thank our manager Sharon, who did everything from washing the jerseys to getting the boys to the games on time. We couldn't have done it without you.
Lastly, we would like to thank the club for their efforts. Hope to see you all back again next season.

Steven Matai’s UNDER 15 GOLD’S COACHES REPORT
First of all, I would like to say thank you to all the people that support this team including Steve, Scott, Edita and all the parents/carers and Milperra for contributing to the team.
Pre-season began on a difficult note with the majority of the boys representing Harold Matts. Round 1 was fortunately a bye with the follow-on weeks forcing a forfeit. Round 4 we faced Moorebank and with 10 players surprised everyone with a win. The new boys Jonathan, Rodney, Harrison and Koby and with the help of 15’s Div 2 all played outstanding games.
From Round 5 we were back to a full team and started to play some great footy with big wins over Greenacre and Eaglevale.
The highlight for the year was in the game against Moorebank with 9 players. We were winning at half time; however, we ran out of legs and they beat us, but all the boys including Harry gave 100%. Moorebank coach with a 18 man squad said, “if they had 2 more players, they would have pulverised us”.
Following that we cruised into the finals without a loss. We made it into the Grand Final and lost on the day. The better team won. As Steve has said this year was about the development of the boys and an investment into their future endeavours. Some of the boys represented at state levels and made it to the Australian teams. I hope to see you all back next year bigger and stronger.

Barry Ward’s UNDER 17 GIRLS LEAGUE TAG’S COACHES REPORT
It was a real pleasure to coach this team. We had some girls having their second year of league tag along with an influx of new girls to the Colts. At the start of the year it was certainly a challenge as some of the girls had never played before. We went from an inexperienced team to a team that wanted to work hard together at training to become better players and a better team.
Even though it was only a 3 team comp the girls were gaining momentum each week and the rewards started to happen with a big win over Moorebank who were the benchmark of the competition.
Girls you should all be very proud of yourselves, from where the team was in March then go onto make a grand final was a huge achievement. The effort and skill level in the GF was amazing.
Special thanks goes to Maddie Windschuttle for her amazing recruiting skills along with Rob Windschuttle, David Harrigan and Leticia Brasch for all your hard work off the field.
I hope I see you all back next year.
