Saints First Game This Sunday Parrs Park Oratia
Reserve Grade kick off is at 1pm and Senior Grade at 2pm.

All players are to be at the ground at 12.15pm sharp.

Don’t forget your mouth guards, they are compulsory and football boots (obviously).

As it’s the first game there are several admin issues (i.e. rego forms) to take care of so be sure to get to the ground on time. We would also like club subs paid on the weekend. $120 seniors & $80 juniors.

Our recruiting drive in the off-season has been an outstanding success with around 18 new players making their debuts with the Saints on Sunday. We welcome all our new players and hope you enjoy your first game on the weekend.

Supporters are welcome to attend, a map of the ground’s location is in the download section of the web site. There is a BBQ after the game. Come and see the Saints unveil their brand new playing strip and array of new recruits.

Welcome To Our Clubs First Physio
Gretchen Falloon will be attending our first game on the weekend in her role as the clubs physiotherapist . The older members of the team are very much looking forward to having Gretchen around. The club greatly appreciates Gretchen's involvement with the team. If you are in need of a physio you can contact Gretchen's via the club.

Up Coming Events
AFL Grand Final Day 30th September Kenny’s Bar & Grill
Pencil this date in your diary as it gets bigger and bigger each year. The club (and Kenny’s of course) put on a selection of finger foods. There are raffles, sweepstakes and other events, not to mention the biggest day on the AFL sporting calendar. Friends, family and supporters are welcome. Start time is 4pm, much earlier though for the die-hards.

Thanks To Our Sponsors
Grant McFlinn at Mike Pero Mortgages and Sandy March at Kenny’s Bar & Grill – Hereford St in the city. The club would especially like to thank Sandy and Kenny’s Bar & Grill who have been supporters of the club since 1998. This season Kenny’s is sponsoring our player of the day award as well providing prizes for this Friday’s quiz night. If you are heading into town and want great, well-priced meals and drinks call in to Kenny’s Bar & Grill. You can also view the mighty Saints premiership shield, match ball and team photo at Kenny’s.

Farewell BJ & Sara & Nick Jones
Saints legend, premiership player and all round good guy Dr Ben BJ Jansen and lovely fiancé Sara made a farewell appearance for the Saints in our practise game against the Takapuna Eagles last weekend. After spending the last 6 months in the Hawkes Bay area with other ex-saints Tim Eagle and Bernie McEntee BJ and Sara are of to Coff's Harbour to further Ben's medical career and catch some waves.
Star player Nick Jones is also leaving our shores and joining brother Marcus (and ex saint) for his big OE. Good luck with the travels Nick and we look forward to seeing both you are Marcus back at the club.

See you all on Friday and/or at Sunday's game

Greg Cairns
