While many people have noticed the new Wyndham Suns uniform running around in the Division Three competition, some of you may not be aware about the club and its new changes happening in 2015.
Having played only junior games at its home ground of Goddard Street last year, the Suns are excited to introduce its senior teams in the WRFL Division Three competition in 2015 after coming across from the Victorian Amateurs Football Association to rejoin their junior counterparts.
Officially rebranding itself at the Wyndham Suns at the end of 2013, the club has already won its first premiership flag, with it’s Under 14B side taking home the silverware last season.
Fast forward six months and the Suns will field nine teams in 2015, ranging from its Under 9s to its seniors.
Having worked from portable change rooms last year and with the expansion of its teams, the Suns are proud to establish a fresh club house at Goddard Street on Saturday April 18, with the official opening to coincide with its first home game against Braybrook.
In addition to the club house, the shift in leagues has seen some major changes on the field, with the appointment of three new coaches.
Matthew Stoodley (senior coach), John Cott (reserves coach) and Michael Seex (reserve assistant coach) along with assistant coach Joe Pace have been praised for their professionalism and high standards in developing the Suns’ new senior sides.
The dedication and determination is evident, not just seen by the coaching staff, but also the players, having started training prior to the pre-season.
Securing its major sponsor in Westbrook Estate this year, it seems the Suns are off to a scorcher, with two wins for its senior and reserve teams in the opening round last week.
Coming off their 17-point win over Sanctuary Lakes, the seniors will play its first game at Goddard Street against reigning premiers Braybrook who currently sit fifth on the ladder, two behind Wyndham Suns. The Reserves will also want to keep its winning streak alive today after defeating the Sharks 12.11-83 to 7.9-51.
If what we saw in week one is anything to go by, the Wyndham Suns look likely to be a strong and challenging side in the new Division Three tier. However despite what it says the scoreboard, one thing is certain, that 2015 is set to be a big and exciting year for the Wyndham Suns.
