Welcome to Season 2011 in the North Central
The Goldacres North Central Football League kicks off season 2011 on Saturday April 9th with 3 games sceduled, as listed above.
Over the break, our area like most has suffered serious flooding and huge damages to communities, also big losses have been reported throughout the area's farming communities, after what promised to be a bumper year, with some crops still being under water or access to and into paddocks at this stage still cut off hindering any final attempts to complete the harvest. With all the challenges that have been placed on us as communities, everyone has pulled together and the clean up and rebuilding, while being a slow process will eventually have things back to normal or as close as they were originally, but there are some things that can never be replaced.
The Charlton and Donald Football Clubs suffered from the floods with Charlton suffering the bigger damage with their Social and Change rooms having close to a metre of water through them, while both clubs will be up and running by the seasons start, this will certainly set their preparations back, to both clubs we wish you well in your efforts to get back to normal ASAP. Slowly there is some assistance coming forward, but in time it will all work out for both clubs.
The North Central Football League was saddened with the passing of Stephen Mitchell, Stephen had volunteered to look after the NCFL website and had made many plans to improve the website in the coming season, as many had mentioned how good the website was it makes us wounder what it would have been,had Stephen been able to fullfil his plans for the future. Stephen who operated "Computer Country Care" in St Arnaud and Donald will be sadly missed by all North Central League Football Followers who visited the website, which had over 250,000 in 2010.

Mick Malthouse the coach of Collingwood gets wind of potential young recruit who lives in Iraq.
Malthouse and the Magpies Recruiting Manager catch a plane to the troubled Iraq capital Baghdad and track the young boy down.
They risk life and limb dodging car bombs, bullets and grenades but finally find him and convince him to come to Australia.
The boy does a full pre-season, plays all the practice matches and gets picked on the bench in the seniors for the first game of the year.
Ten minutes into the first quarter, Nathan Buckley goes down with a severe knee injury. Malthouse turns to the boy and says "This is it son, go to the centre half forward and show us what you can do."
The boy proceeds to play the greatest debut game in AFL history. He kicks 9 goals, takes mark of the year, and kicks the winning goal after the siren from outside 50.
The Magpies chair him off the ground and give him three cheers back in the rooms. Malthouse tells the team what the boy from Iraq has been through and he is a model lesson for all.
Malthouse then pulls the boy aside and says "Go into my office son, ring your Mother and tell her what you did today."
He proceeds to do so. "Mum", he says down the phone, "Guess what I did today?"
"I don't care what you did today." His Mother replies. "I tell you what happened here today", she goes on. "Your Dad was stabbed and robbed, our house was torched, our car blown up, your sister was attacked and your brother was abducted.
"Gee" says the boy. "I feel a bit responsible for what happened."
The Mother replies "So you should be, if it wasn't for you we would never have shifted to Collingwood."
Poor old Collingwood
