Greetings to all our sponsors on the first official newsletter of the 2014 season.
It has taken a while to get organised but we are getting there.
At this point we sit 4th on the ladder with two wins and a loss.
Our historic Good Friday night game was a terrific success, with a big crowd, witnessing some good country footy. It took a lot of organisation but the feedback was that it was worth it.
We followed the following Friday with our Anzac round. Mick Collins and Ray Barling were our RSL guests and we had another night game.
Our third game was against ladder leader WY Yung, away, and we got our pants pulled down. Without making excuses I will add that injuries and unavailability of players played a part.
This year the League has brought in the under 16 competition from the BDJFL. We now have four games on a Saturday so the day is certainly longer.
Our coaching list this year is Anthony Woodland (coach) his assistants are Lou Battista and Kevin (chad) Stevens.
Paul (Rooster) Marsden is the new twos coach, David Richardson thirds and Timothy Hack the fourths.
We have recruited really well this year. Anthony Bence is back as is Mick Battista, Jarrod Coad and big Will Bushby. Zack Turner, a junior from Orbost has moved to town and has been playing fantastic footy. He has brought Adam Walker, a silky smooth on baller who played at Maffra. His mate Andrew Phelan was keen for a game and he can play. Joel Waters has hung up the Bairnsdale boots and is coach Woodlands playing assistant.
This weekend we travel to Stratford for a tough day on the paddock.
