Season 2009 looks like it’s going to be a very successful one for Men’s side of the club. We have had record numbers attending our pre-season training and all players that have been attending are keen to make amends for last year’s results, a true testament to the club’s motto ‘pride and loyalty’. We have also picked up a few new recruits over the summer, most of which will feature in our top 3 sides, with these new players and the return of Alex Grosz from the UK, the depth of the top 3 sides has been increased dramatically, which in turn will only strengthen our Metro sides.
FHC is hosting its inaugural State League Men’s Pre-season Tournament on the 4th & 5th of April, with 12 teams & $500 up for grabs it should be a very competitive and exciting tournament. We ask you to support this tournament by volunteering your time to help with the running of it and of course by supporting our club! The State League Sponsorship program has also been very successful in its first year, all men’s members will benefit from this program in some way in 2009. Every men’s member is invited to try and get a $250 sponsor, if so you will receive $75 off your fee’s and a new playing shirt! Sponsorships must be received in full by the 27th of March to be eligible for the sponsors draw. Please contact me if you require further information about this program (tom.griffin@buchan.com.au)
Finally it is also with great pleasure I can announce Peter Grosz as the SL3 team manager and Steve Carew as the PC team manager. We are still currently looking for a manager for our PE team, if this role interest you please contact me.
