PRE-SEASON NEWS
 
Welcome to season 2009. We are looking forward to a very successful year for all our teams. The season begins when we play at Bridgewater on 4/4/09. We have 12 new players in our Senior ranks. Some of them played their Junior footy at Onkas and it’s great to see them in our Senior sides. Players new to our senior sides include Tim Rosewall, Leigh Blucher, Shane Baldock, Adam Klun, Scott Patching, Peter Duncan, Anton Hientze, Andrew Kerwan, J Lamb, T Manning and T Woolford.

COACHES: Welcome to our new A Grade coach, Shane Lynch who comes to us from Aldinga. Craig Paschke is coaching the B’s again. We also welcome Brendan McGillivray who is coaching our 17’s. Paul (Dingo) Tanner has the U15’s.

TRAINING: Senior training is on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6.30 to 8.00. The Senior Colts train with our Senior sides (a new innovation this season) but they begin at 6.00pm. We still need lots of Senior colt players so if you are interested or know someone who is, let us know.

PRE-SEASON GAMES: Despite Clipsal, weddings and cricket grand finals, we managed to field enough players to play a trial against Port Noarlunga at McLaren Vale last Saturday. Our next trial game for the Senior Colts is on Wednesday, 25/3/09 at Balhannah, playing Tea Tree Gully, beginning at 6pm. Our next A and B grade trial is possibly 28/3/09 but this is to be confirmed.

AROUND THE GROUND: Jo Raymond and her girls did a superb job at our last trial. We are desperate for trainers. If you can help, please let the club know. Many thanks to the people who volunteered (or were volunteered) to run water, goal umpire, etc. last Saturday.

SOCIAL EVENTS: We are hoping to have lots of fun things this year as well as fundraising activities. The first one is on Thursday, 2/4/09 at 7.45pm at our clubrooms. It’s the annual Jumper Presentation night, this time with a difference. Every Senior Colt player will be ‘buddied up’ with an A Grade player as their mentor. You will be able to buy meals as you can always do every Thursday and Saturday night at the club.
