Thanks Danny

We bid farewell to our Seniors Mens coach Danny Moore.

Danny joined us midway through 2019 when wins were few and far between. The change in atmosphere around the club was immediately noticeable. Performances on field slowly improved, albeit without the results reflecting this.

Thee was a memorable performance and win against the eventual league winners late in the season, giving a sure sign the tide was starting to turn and better days were ahead.

With 2020 being completely cancelled we hit the ground running in 2021 after what felt like 47 pre-seasons. By the time the stop-start 2021 season was called off, we were sitting 5th in the league having won half our games.

Season 2022 became our best year on record as we notched up 14 wins (+ another in the Cup) to finish in 4th place with 45 points. We finished undefeated against the top side drawing both games, and doing the double over then 2nd placed side.

We'd like to thank Danny for his hard work, professionalism, passion, energy and attention to detail over the past 3 and a half years. You came to us at an extremely challenging time for the club and then endured 2 pandemic ruined seasons, to say you leave us in better shape is a massive understatement.

#ThanksGaff and all the best for your next chapter

Update on Junior and MiniRoos grading

Having finished grading last weekend and assessed offline during the week, our graders and coaches met this morning to agree the best way to form our Junior and MiniRoos squads and teams this season.

We made great progress and whilst there are a couple of corners left to round off, we decided what we think makes most sense to aim for and we're ready to make offers to all kids that graded. We intend to do this age group by age group over the next week or in a few cases, possibly two, so please be patient. However we believe we can make a sensible offer of a team to join for everyone that graded - which is good news and is always our intention as a community club. With about 2 months until the season starts though, we're keen to get people joining as members and training commenced asap.

Below are the teams we think we can form assuming everyone who graded wants to join:

Girls

U8 potentially 1 team

U10 1 team

U11 1 team

U13 2 teams (including some U12 girls)

U15 1 team

U18 potentially one team

Boys

U8 3 teams

U9 1 team

U10 2 teams

U11 1 team

U12 1 team

U13 3 teams (including some U12 boys)

U14 1 team

U15 1 team

U17 1 team

Most of these have coaches assigned but not all so if you are keen to take on a role, please let us know. You will be welcomed and fully supported by a very enthusiastic and collaborative set of volunteer coaches and of course our Junior and Mini Roos coaching coordinator Paul Bryan.

General questions below most welcome.

Thanks
