A word from our president: We suffered a hefty loss against our old foes foster- however our fourths and seconds came through with a win. Then there was last week with.. What a game! I was really excited to see the boys come together and the teamwork was sensational, each backing the other up, The ball was a great success thanks to jaz and her helpers and the sponsor’s lunch was enjoyed by all who attended. Thankyou to all of them. Good luck to all teams this week against Korumburra, it would be great to bring home another win. Neil

Keeping the ball in play with great team work in the fourths win over foster and stony. These boys are great to watch so in the words of molly Meldrum – do yourself a favour…….. the game starts at half past 9.

2000 reunion: It was great to see most of the 2000 grand final team back in the club rooms at the one time, with some great on and off the field memories and stories on the night. “A team, it’s got to have wheels, and wheels turning!” was the quote from the, then coach – Graham Hoskin.

Congratulations jack: You are a legend, a larrikin and a gentleman Jack has received many awards and Accolades over the years at the club, is a life Member, (which proves he’s old).

A regular sight around our courts is young Ella Littlejohn, with her favorite football day accessory- Gabby & Buckos dog “chocolates.” Better than what she found and bought down to show her mum during one of the foster games, dangling it by its tail – a dead mouse!
