Hi Everyone,

Round 4 sees us take on the Takapuna Eagles at Onepoto Domain on SATURDAY

A map of the grounds location is in our downloads section.

It is on Saturday as the AFL GRAND FINAL will be on afterwards, your presence will be compulsory at OSCARS BAR on 300 DOMINION ROAD MT EDEN(expect a fine from Clarky and BJ if you do not show), where we will be watching the game, eating free food, and taking advantage of Froggy's drinks specials. This is quite often the first time many new players watch a game of Aussie Rules being played at a top level, and it is a great way of explaining how many of the game strategies we often talk about *should* work.

The games are scheduled EARLIER than usual, Reserves need to be at the ground at 10:45, and Seniors must be there before 12 midday.

Seniors should look to get there as early as possible, the last few weeks our Reserves have performed well, but often do not have the required numbers when the game starts.

We have quite a few injuries this week, around 6 or 7 people have rung me letting me know that they don't think they will be able to play. This means that I will be watching the reserves game closely and this will be a good chance for newer players to move up if they perform well. We need more new recruits, so get them down to training on Thursday night or at least to the game at 10:45.

On Saturday we will also be farewelling our ex-President Greg Cairns (he's got an early night planned so make sure you congratulate him on the new job in Aus, and buy him a drink while the game is still on) and we will be officially welcoming our new President Peter Boyce (so congratulate him on the new job and buy him a drink too!)

Andrew (Cogs) Congalton is the Auckland NPC Coach, has also been in touch regarding the Auckland team for the NPC tournament on the long weekend Sat 24th, Sun 25th and Mon 26th at Parrs Park (that weekend is a bye for normal games). Training begins on Monday nights from next Monday, you can either let me know if you're interested or just turn up to training at Gloucester Park at 6pm.

This is a good opportunity to train and play with a top level NZ team, open to everyone (including Aussies), it is a good opportunity to get noticed if you are thinking about being picked for NZ Falcons side next year. We don't have a game that weekend so you wouldn't miss any club games, and anyone in our club would benefit from the extra training. If you are unsure if you would be suitable come and have a talk to me and we'll discuss it, bear in mind that many people will be out of town for the long weekend, so you may have a better chance of being picked that you might think.
