Welcome to the 2024 Season Chairman’s Welcome Welcome to an exciting 2024 season for CJRL. After a great season launch event a few weeks ago at Wanda SLSC that gave CJRL and its clubs some great exposure, we are finally able to get onto the field and play some footy.

There are some great things to look forward to this season, with Super Saturday at Sutherland Oval on Saturday 20 April the first of these. All five matches in the Power Waste Management Cup will be played from 10.00am, along with some great fun and entertainment between games. We will also support Gotcha4Life with this designated as our “Mental Fitness Round”.

A big thanks to our partners who continue to support us – Power Waste Management, Aramex, Zambrero, ISC and Shire Steel. Additionally, we have some new partners who have come on board to support Super Saturday, so a big thanks and welcome to LAIDRE, Dominelli GWM, AFS and Block and Grapple.

2023 saw us set a new participation record of over 5650 players and we have surpassed this even before a ball is kicked in 2024. Congratulations must go to all the club executive and volunteers who give so much to make their clubs and the CJRL competitions the success they are. In similar positive news, our referees ranks have swelled in 2024 which is great news and a reflection of the great work of the association executive and Joel Mani the operations co-ordinator. This is not the case in many of our neighbouring competitions.

We hope this new weekly newsletter adds value as an information resource for our clubs, players and supporters, and spreads the word of what is happening across the CJRL to a wider audience.

If you want to receive this newsletter direct to your email inbox each week please let us know via generalmanager@cronullajrl.com.au After a fantastic finals series in 2023, we hope to see the great behaviour at our venues continue, and all participants show respect for others in attendance.

Lastly, I wish all our participants, junior and senior, male and female, tag and tackle players, all the best for an injury free and enjoyable season. Let’s all keep in mind the reason we turn up to play each season and ensure we play in the spirit of the game.

Team Liaison Officer  Each team must provide a “Team Liaison Officer” (TLO) who will act as a contact point for the Ground Manager during fixtures at CJRL venues. Should supporters /spectators from either club behave in a manner that would previously been dealt with by the Ground Manager, from this point the Ground Manager will engage the relevant Team Liaison Officer to address this issue with the spectators involved.  The Ground Manager at each venue will hold two Hi-Vis Pink vests that each Team Liaison Officer will be required to wear during the course of the match so they can be easily identified. The TLO is to make themselves known to the Ground Manager prior to the start of the match, and names of each TLO recorded on match sheets.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to remain near the bench area for his or her team during the match, but remain outside the roped/fenced playing area.  Ground Managers and Team Liaison Officers shall not be permitted to drink alcohol prior to or whilst acting in these roles.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to assist in resolving any situation that may occur relating to their teams’ spectators/supporters. ie: trying to calm the situation down before it escalates.  The Team Liaison Officer will work with and assist the Ground Manager. The Ground Manager still has the responsibility of maintaining control of spectators, interchange bench areas, and liaising with match officials, this is not the role of the Team Liaison Officer.  At the end of the match the Hi-Vis Pink vest is to be handed back to the Ground Manager (not left on the interchange bench or on the ground).  The Team Liaison Officer (as per the Ground Manager) should be a person capable of maintaining a calm demeanour and be a minimum of 18 years of age. Ideally the TLO would be someone closely aligned with the team but cannot be carrying out an accredited match day role (coach, trainer etc).

NO MATCH IS TO COMMENCE WITHOUT EACH TEAM LIAISON OFFICER BEING IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE GROUND MANAGER.
