Park Orchards North Ringwood ParishHi All Sharks,
This week sees our teams reaching the half way mark of the season. WOW! – 7 down, Round 8 this week and 7 to go. Whilst the club is all about participation, I did have a sneaky look to see how our teams from U11s through to how the Colts are going. It’s great to see all teams are trying really hard. Seven of the eleven teams are currently sitting in finals contention. The others are not far off. Great efforts have been made by all players, well done.
GO SHARKS!!
Conduct
Thank you to everyone. This last round passed without our Director of Football, or myself, receiving a call from the YJFL regarding negative comments to umpires and opposition. Please keep up the good work in supporting our players in a positive manner, it’s really appreciated.
Sharkwiz – Trivia Night
It’s here this Saturday night the 4th of June @ 7.00pm at Domeney Reserve. A standing round of applause to our co-ordinators who have filled the hall to overflowing. Well done Sharks for getting on board and participating.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dave Philipsen, Mike Newton (Events Co-ordinator) and his magnificent helpers from our Under 13 age group for all their hard work in pulling this together. I would also like to thank out hard working Team Managers and Coaches for promoting the event and getting numbers together to make up the tables. Finally, we would like to thank all those that donated and our sponsors for their donations and supports.
