Thankyou
From all the guys in the Towns Under 16’s Football
Team
Our
enthusiastic team set off to Perth on Saturday in 2 buses
driven by equally enthusiastic parents, all very excited
about participating in the Under 16’s match to be
played at Subiaco Oval on Sunday 10th June 2007.
Our bus trip afforded the boys a chance to get to know each
other a little better and started a great weekend of team
building. Saturday evening saw us dining in a local food
hall and attending a movie before retiring to the Ern Halliday
School Camp. Here all the boys shared a bunk room for the
night and I am not really sure how much sleep was had but
there were no complaints the next day. The boys headed off
for an early morning run on the beach with coach Rory and
assistant coach Tas, whilst the rest of the adults prepared
a 5 star breakfast.
On
arrival at Subiaco Oval our boys were filmed and photographed
and prepared for the big match. It was a fabulous event
organised by Fremantle Football Club Youth League and we
were assisted throughout the event by David Crute, thank
you so much.
We also had 2 Boys from Midwest Football Academy volunteer
their time to be our boundary umpires, great effort boys!
Unfortunately though a valiant effort was made by our Towns
Team our boys we were defeated on the day.
We
were able to watch the AFL match that followed (Dockers
v Richmond, A great win to Freo!) and then it was on the
buses and back to Geraldton.
I
would like to say a huge thank you to all of our Financial
Sponsors, without your kindness our team would not have
been able to attend this event. Although this trip was about
a great group of young guys participating in a game of footy,
it became much more, with friendships built and a memorable
life experience gained.
Last
but not least thankyou to Rory, Tasman, Michael, Jeff, Chris,
Shane and Kerry for giving your time over the weekend. You
know it couldn’t have happened without you, hope you
all enjoyed it as much as I did.
Our under 16’s have really benefited from this opportunity.
Towns Football club and all of our sponsors can be proud
of their behaviour and effort.
Go
Towns!!
Best
Regards to everyone involved
