Round 1 – 11th April 2009
2010 SPONSORS ROUND ONE EDITION
With pre-season training now behind us, the real stuff begins this weekend. Below you will find the round one games for each age group so please make sure you know where you are playing and what time. The ground locations for each team is also attached to this newsletter so please ensure you keep this in a safe place for future reference. Our Youth/Girls team does not begin their season until April 17th. So keep up with your training girls and we look forward to having you in the Purple & Gold next weekend. It is important that players arrive at least 45 minutes (or as directed by your coach) before the games are due to start because there are team sheets to be completed and umpire checks for each player before games can commence. Good Luck to all our teams & GO VIKINGS!
NOTE: All junior players must wear a mouthguard on match days and we strongly recom- mend that players wear them during training.

We are all there for the players so encourage and congratulate, even the opposition. Show respect for every- one involved from the water people to the umpires and remember we are there for the players.

Australia Facts A hopping icon The iconic kangaroo is unique to Australia and one of our most easily recognised mam- mals. There are an estimated 40 million kangaroos in Australia, more than when Australia was first settled. Unique wildlife Australia developed a unique fauna when it broke away from the super-continent Gond- wana more than 50 million years ago. Today Australia is home to a wealth of wildlife not found anywhere else in the world. We have around 800 species of birds, half of which are unique to this country. Our marine environments contain more than 4,000 fish varieties and tens of thousands of species of invertebrates, plants and micro-organisms. About 80 per cent of Australia's southern marine species are found nowhere else in the world. Flourishing flora Australia also supports at least 25,000 species of plants, compared to 17,500 in Europe. That includes living fossils like the Wollemi pine and the grass tree, and brilliant wildflowers. There are over 12,000 species in Western Australia alone!
