Round 21 Reports and Club News

Presidents Report

Some great results came from the weekend when most of the club were away against Albury City.
The regular season finishes this weekend, and we will have most teams in the finals series, a proud moment for the club.
This weekend also marks the final Miniroos round. I spoke about it earlier in the season that we have had record numbers of Miniroos, it has been great to have the kids back after the stop start years we had during the pandemic, and it will only get stronger in years to come. Thanks to all the hard working coaches and volunteers who have given the kids some great sessions and game guidance over the season. Its been very evident in their improvement and development over 2022.
We have teams playing across the afternoon and evening Saturday at Boomers and Sunday there are some catch up rounds at various venues.
Lets show Boomers how big our supporter base is on Saturday evening.

Div.2 Men v Albury City Lost 0-5

Div 2 men came up against a very ‘experienced’ and eager Albury City team that were hellbent on securing the league.
The game was cut short just as we were mounting a comeback after a slow start.
Beat Boomers this week and finish second on the ladder.

16 Boys v Albury City Won 3-2

This was another one of those games where we missed multiple opportunities, and unfortunately let the opponents capitalise on the very few that they had.
It has been a great season, and third on the ladder in a very strong competition is something to be proud of, and something that we can use as a platform for the finals.
Goals: Pat, Nati, Harry
