Champions for 2012 Albion Park Oak Flats in 1st grade and under 18s

We are so proud of every one of our players,support staff and volunteers and committee. It takes a club to build success and what an outstanding achievement for us this season.

A brilliant under 18s game saw the score skyrocket. Great team work and attitude all season men. You are the best team we have ever had. ( sorry to the dads of these players)

We love watching and suporting you.

Never give up and have self belief, even when you ar a player down was the thought of some first graders on Sunday, The defence was just outstanding with the first try coming way into the first half to Bugsy Gray who went from dummy half. A brilliant effort saw him named man of the match and win his 8th premiership for the Park. Led by Jason Hooper, our players were on fire , playing against the hardest competition. Having two losses and a win this season,our record against Gerringong, was not on our side,but after the way the major semi on the Gongs home soil was won by us, a sniff of victory was all we needed. The game went down to the wire and at the 79 minute mark it was 16  to 10. Have we won,?I looked at the clock , teary eyed with 27 seconds to go and watched what I thought was a victory to us. Just when I thought we were safe, Gerringong crossed the line to give them a two point defecit. Hearts stopped pounding as we watched the goal kick. The traditional bangiing on the fence from the youngsters rang in our ears. The ball floated through the air and it was as if there was a wall stopping it from going through the middle of the goal posts and instead connecting with the post and being waved away. ( Could that have been a guardian angel? __}

The relief on our boys faces and jubilation of  success was celebrated well into the evening by hundreds of supporters.

Thank you Jason and Shane for your coaching this season Simply perfect

We would really love to acknowledge all of our volunteers on Sunday . You always rally to assist and we so appreciate the hard work of everyone.

We are the Champions of 2012.....

Congrats also to our favourite Son Gummy Glenn Roberts on your success with Kiama Reserves and also on your man of the match  ,

The guest speakers through the decades of league were both interesting and full of knowledge.Thanks to all of you who braved the stage.

The night was topped off with the brilliant voice of Anthony Foye ( who just happens to be the editors lil Bro)  heading up Paul, Saul and Mick in the band Boyznberry.

The band very cleverly linked EVERY song to a significant event through the clubs 90 years. They also all dressed the part so well done and thankYou

Something as important as our 90th year in the league could have been acknowledged by a lot more players and people,however all the important people WERE THERE !!!! People go to effort and spend countless hours in preparation,all in their own time !!!!! just sayin..... 

A huge congratulations to SPUD  ( Derek) Gray on playing his 200th game for the mighty Eagles. Spud has been playing in the maroon and white since he was 4 years old. He has been a representative and team player,supports all of our functions and lends a hand where he can.

It was great to see all players in Pink socks to support the McGrath Foundation.

Keep trying girls,You will get Kiama next time. A nail biting game from our 18s who never gave up in a 22 to 20 down to the wire game. The reserves relieved the pressure in a 70 nil inialation of Milton Ulladulla A try fest with Luke McKay scoring 4,Coach Aaron Lucas with 3 and several others placing the ball down to see the score soar.

First grade decided to play from behind and had Milton believeing they may have had their first win in First grade.... It got to 20 all before a change in the wind saw us take the game 28 to 20.

Gerringong next week,means revenge from round 1...

Get to training and work hard.

Please also remember at all times that our club is governed by the same RSA ** RESPONSIBLE SERVICE OF ALCOHOL **rules and laws as Pubs and Clubs. The only difference is that our club is run by VOLUNTEERS.. It would be great to see some players put themself through the course and get a better understanding ...You could then support the club that supports you so well....by working the bar..
