Welcome Presidents Message

Match Day Program On behalf of the Comets Football Club I would like to welcome everyone to today’s games against MetroStars at Saturday 21st May 2016 (Round 12) the SA Athletics Stadium for Round 12. Today’s senior game will be a tough battle I have no doubt as every week is a big SA Athletics Stadium 3:00pm challenge.

This will be the start of the 2nd round fixtures v MetroStars who in Round 1 were unlucky to not take the 3 points after leading for most of the game. Although we still have injuries the test will be on the depth of our players and an opportunity for some young talent to have their opportunity. I would like to wish senior coach Theo Tsiounis and his support staff and all our players the very best for today’s game. The team has had one of its best starts to a season and it is important to treat every game of utmost importance. We look forward to a great game of football.

I would like to wish our Under 18 coach Tony Galanopoulos and Reserve coach John Falidis and their teams the very best in today’s clashes after both teams did very well last week.

With the support of our Committees, Sponsors and members we are proud to deliver a professional venue in SA Athletics Stadium for all Senior League teams and I would like all our Sponsors and supporters to enjoy our facilities and vocally encourage and support our players today. A special thank you to all our helpers who have worked so hard to make today’s games possible. The food and drinks will be supplied by Athletics SA through the canteen and Adelaide Comets FC will run the bar upstairs in the Function Room.

If you would like to purchase tickets to our Quiz Night on June 25 please go to our web- site www.adelaidecomets.com.au for more information.

I would like to wish everyone an enjoyable day and look forward to seeing you in the function room after the game for presentations and nibbles.

Yours in sport, ADELAIDE COMETS Jim Tsouvalas Club President v METROSTARS
