Played Macleod around the corner and had a dogged struggle all day only to gain a 2 goal margin early in the last qtr and maintain that lead. The 2s again struggling to put a team on the park went down after failing to find the goals in the last qtr. The 19s found themselves in front at the ¾ time break against a top 4 side only to relinquish the lead in the last. Good to see no trouble at the game as all 3 sides decided to wear the same colours it was just a sea of blue. Thanks to Barry and Reservoir FC for the use of their facilities as Lakies ground was under water earlier in the week.
This week it’s Lalor at Moore Park Rain, Hail or Shine before we head into our first finals campaign since taking out the flag in 03.
At this stage the Seniors will be playing at Preston on Saturday 28th and the 2s at Preston on Sunday 29th. The rooms will be open immediately after theses games finish for any members who wish to come back to get out of the cold.
Renovations. Stage 1 of the works at the club is due to start very shortly with improvements to the viewing area. Thanks to Darebin Council, Aneeta Windows, OzAwnings and The Coterie Group for their support in getting this underway. Stages 2-137 will follow.
Friday Joker Raffle Dips & Crackers Bomber is doing a great job selling the tickets, Heather’s dips and Mario’s fermented meat. The Jackpot is over 2 Gorillas and the draw is conducted at 7PM. Tickets are available all week.
Around The Traps It amazes how big our committee grows at half time before quickly winding back when the jobs are handed out. Thanks to Cactus & Junior for getting all the coldies over the road and the canteen girls Di, Donna, Pauline & Bev who were under the pump and oil from the word go. Vin is doing a book signing before this week’s game anyone who didn’t hand back their record from last week we have plenty in stock. Had a bet with a former Victorian cricketer that the Lake oval would be free of puddles Sunday morning. On inspection the idiot was up there sweeping the puddles away. Bona was seen heading home when it was his shout last Saturday, he took one beer from the fridge that wasn’t his anyway and returned to the ground. Jimmy MC has booked Matty Hyde’s services for reasons he only knows I thought he cut his own grass.
