Comments from our President

It’s great to have our 2021 football season well and truly off and running with weekend games at Kingfisher now being enjoyed by all our kids and seniors, as well as their parents, families and friends alike. Our Men’s First Team are off to a great start in Amateurs Division 3, as is our Women’s team in their Metro North Division 3 comp. It has been more of a ‘mixed bag’ for our Masters Over 45 team and our Men’s Reserves with great things still to come no doubt, and our Miniroos are just lovely to watch as they have fun and continue to enjoy and learn more and more about our great game each week.  

Huge thanks as always to all our Coaches, Team Managers and other volunteers without whose help our Club could simply not function. Please continue to support them however you can, particularly at training and on game days, as any assistance with things like putting up and taking down goals/nets, fetching balls, washing strips and just getting together and cheering on our teams is ever so appreciated. Similarly, please be sure to get behind the Club and support the canteen, bar and any fundraising initiatives we run as any monies we make get ploughed straight back into the running of the Club and upkeep of our equipment which benefits all our members. And in that connection, keep an eye out for details about the fun Quiz Night we will be running early in July at our Clubhouse – and please let us know if you or your employer may be interested in sponsoring or providing some prizes for the prize pool.

Thanks to the City of Swan for completing the drainage works that were happening right in front of our Clubhouse in the lead up to the start of the season. The eastern side of Pitch A was able to remediated and ready just in time for our first Senior matches (phew!), and whilst there does appear to have been some improvement to the water retention issues that side of the pitch used to suffer from, the real test will of course come as those good ol’ rainy game days become more prevalent throughout winter (fingers crossed).

Your continuing support is greatly appreciated everyone and I look forward to seeing you and saying hi at one of your team’s next home games.

Regards, Mike Peverley (President)
