NZ FALCONS SQUAD
Congratulations to Lewis Hurst, Marcus Jones, Liam Ackland, Morgan Jones and Matt Callaghan on making the New Zealand Falcons team for the upcoming International Cup. Unfortunately Mike Boyce just missed out being named as an emergency. Mike is still a chance to make the final team should anyone get injured or become unavailable. Ruckman Mike Tagg was also looking certain to make the team before injuring a knee. Mike looks certain to miss the upcoming AAFL season, which is a real blow for both the club and Mike.

MAFFRA GAME THIS SATURDAY at Mountfort Park Manurewa 2pm- One or Two Volunteers Needed
There is rare chance to watch the NZ Falcons play in Auckland this Saturday when they take on the very strong and successful Victoria country team, Maffra. Please make the effort to get along to support the team and all the Saints players involved. Both Morgs and Matty will be back from Australia for the game.
VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED FOR SATURDAY
Rob Van Stam requires helpers to put up (and take down) the Genesis Marquee. If anyone able to get to Mountfort Park around 12pm to help Hamish Congalton put them up it would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Rob 021 399 629 or myself if you can help.

WELCOMING DRINKS FOR THE MAFFRA TEAM THIS FRIDAY
There will be welcoming drinks being put on for the Maffra team this Friday night at the Grey Lynn RSA Francis St Grey Lynn at 6.30p. Try to make it if you can it has taken a huge effort for this club to travel all the way to our shores in the middle of their season to play on Saturday.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW RECRUITS
We have had a great turn out of new recruits at the training runs we have be able to have.
We would like to welcome you all to the club and hope you are enjoying your footy so far.
Remember guys please always be on the lookout for new players we can never have enough.
We need under 17 players for the proposed competition kicking off on round one this season.

TRAINING IMPORTANT
Training will be on this Sunday rain, hail or shine. We have had a terrible run with the weather so far but not once has the ground been closed.
We have got some great new recruits this season so we need to see everyone from last year make an effort to get there this Sunday.
We plan to get Wednesday night training underway next week (6th August).
We can discuss preferred weeknight training nights with the group this Sunday. At this stage it is Wednesday only
