President’s
Football REPORT
REPORT
With the 2016 season now underway, we can report that this year’s Competition has been renamed the INTRUST SUPER PREMIERSHIP NSW. The previous title was THE STATE CUP.
Dear Member, By the time Members read this report, Easter and Seniors Week will be over. I trust that all Members and their families had a relaxing Easter break and that our senior members enjoyed their special week.
The Club is again sponsoring the West Tigers in this Competition, and after five rounds the team has won three and lost two.
On behalf of the Club, Board and Management I would like to thank those Members who were able to contribute to the Sista Code movement to help those local women and children housed in refuges by providing vital goods for them. This initiative is a joint venture with the Leagues Club Association and the R.S.L. and Services Clubs Association. Our Club was only too happy to assist. Also on the community front, I draw members’ attention to a ‘parenting strategy evening’ which will be held at the club on 27th May. This is a great initiative by Ryde Family Services to help parents with the sometimes very difficult task of raising children. Full details are on page 19 of this journal.
The first game was played against Manly and was won in great style by 34 to 16. The team comprised many new faces that performed well at this level. The second match was against the New Zealand Warriors and was a complete reversal of form with the team demolished by 44 to 6.
The Club recently hosted the launch of the Eastwood Ryde Netball Association Premier League teams that will compete in the Netball NSW Premier League Competition. All in attendance enjoyed meeting with the team members. Your Club is the major sponsor of the ERNA teams, and we are all hoping for a successful season commencing on 20 April at Netball Central, Sydney Olympic Park.
The third match was against Wyong and again the team reversed their form by winning 44 to 16.
The renovation to the auditorium has recently been completed with a major change of décor. This area of the club had not been updated since 2000 and the change brings a fresh and contemporary look. Renovations are continuing in the Club with upgrades for the outdoor gaming area and new furniture for the Bistro and Function Centre next on the list. These renovations will give your Club a fresh look and keep us at the forefront of the club business.
Game 4 saw a 32-16 win against the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, while game 5 resulted in a 38-14 loss to the Newtown Jets.
The Board and Management recently held a strategic planning seminar with our financial advisors and builders, and this seminar will ensure that our Club is as well prepared as possible for any changes to our business over the coming years.
It will remain to be seen whether this team can go on to better results or again fall by the wayside over the coming season.
As stated in the previous journal, the Club is trading extremely well and should again return an excellent result for the forthcoming financial year at the end of June.
The football club will again be supporting our four local junior clubs and we wish them all the best for their forthcoming season.
As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, all the many things that this Club is able to do and achieve would not be possible without the continued support of you, the Members, and I again thank all on behalf of the Board and Management. Keith Aggett. President.
