Fun at Auskick Awards Day
The end of the 2017 season for Auskick was a fantastic
day with players dressed up in team coloured costumes.
Coaches also got into it with some unique outfits for the
day, a great way to finish the season with fun, laughter and
some great footy!
As part of the wind up festivities, appreciation was
extended to the boys Adam Raas and Jason Afflick for
manning the BBQ all season, they did an incredible job in
cooking around 400 sausages each week with the help of
volunteer parents. Including the Friday Gala Day and
wind up where all the kids got a free snag and drink from
the club, the boys cooked a whopping 6000 sausages for
the season. We sincerely thank you.

This will be my last year as President and committee
member. I have had a fantastic journey over my time
with the club both as coach and in administration. It
has had its challenges, but the positives have always
far outweighed the negatives. The installation of the
lights and the electronic scoreboard, are just two
major projects that have materialised. The amazing
growth of numbers and retention in our club is the
envy of all clubs across the district and beyond.
I have enjoyed watching many players starting in
Auskick and progress through our ranks, not just to
become good footballers, but more importantly good
people and now great contributors to our community
and society.
