Soccer Club excited to welcome new local Ref, Alex

MDSC would like to welcome one of our new local residents Alex Volodin and his son Denys to the club. Alex recently completed his Football Referees Course hosted by Orange District Football Referees Association.

It’s wonderful the club will have Alex available to Ref our local competitive games. In addition to this, Alex will also help out with refereeing games in Orange, for ODFA.

Originally from Ukraine, Alex was a keen Football (Soccer) player before moving to Australia recently. We look forward to getting to know Alex and his family, and are excited to have them be part of our wonderful club.

Cheers, Ralph Chrystall (Club President).

asked his mate what happened. “Well, I was playing golf and I hit my ball into the rough,” replied his friend.

“Then I met a lady who was looking for her ball too. Finding mine, I thought I’d give her a hand.

There was a cow nearby and I noticed that every time the cow twitched its tail there was a flash of white. So I went over to it and lifted its tail and sure enough there was the ball.

I called out to the lady, ‘Ma’am, does this look like yours?’

And she hit me in the neck with her driver!”
