Merriwa Magpie to take flight

AFTER five years as team manager of the WFNC Merriwa Magpies All Abilities Football team, Ros Taylor is about to say goodbye. Prior to coming to Wangaratta, Ros worked at the AFL, but found retirement hard - missing her job, friends and footy. Luckily, a neighbour mentioned her to (then) president of the WFNC, Col McClounan, who asked if Ros would come and help out. She said yes and started looking after their membership, working on the gate at home games, joining the board and anything else the club asked her to do. Ros has also helped out in the art

room of the Wangaratta District Specialist School and a lot of the team members attend or used to attend the school. “I’m moving to Gippsland to be closer to my son and grandchildren but I hope someone will step up and take over what I’ve started because this team is worth it,” she said. “I’m looking forward to being closer to my family but will miss my team and all the special people I have made wonderful friendships with.” When Ros took over as team manager of the All Abilities team, the players were wearing hand-me-down jumpers.
