Manly West Quirk Rd Upgrades

MANLY WEST
QUIRK RD UPGRADES

Our training fields at Manly West Quirk Rd are scheduled to be further upgraded in March by Manly Council.

The grounds will be levelled and drainage installed which should significantly decrease the problems using the fields after rains.

Also the field sizes will be increased so that there will be two U9 three-quarter size fields with permanent posts.

The fields also now have two light towers, a 24 hour toilet and kerb and guttering has been installed in the car parking area.

So this will be a much improved training facility for the club. Our thanks to Manly Council & to the Committee who have worked for a long time to get these upgrades.

The works are scheduled to be completed before the start of the season in early April. Watch the club website for updates about these improvements.

Over 35's Coach Wanted

Do you regret hanging up those boots?

A low division Seaforth side within the Over 35's league had a get together over Christmas to celebrate their best year for 3 years.

The result - 'they won ONE game'.

This team of (reasonably) dedicated players have bonded well over the years, and almost entirely agreed to sign up for another year of 'good effort and camaraderie'.

An underlying desire for improved performance exists however, and this recent taste of success has resulted in an agreement to seek assistance from a knowledgeable individual who wishes to join the squad in a non-playing coach/manager capacity.

The role has very few perks. It does not pay, and whilst the team are motivated - they are pretty useless. All club fees will be paid by the existing team members, who have also agreed to provide transport for the coach, and ensure that he/she is not expected to pay for their round of drinks. The general feeling is that these old-timer players need an old-timer coach.

We seek a person with demonstrable experience of training and match-day management, with proven ability to devise the best structure and method for a team of mixed ability to work well together (we have fit members who cannot play football, and good footballers who are unfit). In addition to these qualifications, the person appointed will need a thick skin; not mind losing (initially); and be of friendly disposition. Whilst this team have aspirations, their primary objective remains having fun with their mates and getting fit.

Enquiries and applications by email or phone call to Phil Redding (Right back - more often than not) on: Philip.redding@endor.com.au or 0414 212 142. In the event of multiple suitable candidates being interested, informal meetings may be required.

On the 11th November the Seaforth U10 All Stars were crowned Champions of the Spring six-a-side competition at Cromer Park.

Over 10 weeks the highly fancied CC Strikers 'The Devils', (they won the U10 Div 1 Grand final) and Seaforth finished 1 & 2 in the league and faced off in a titanic grand final.

Seaforth were slow to start went 1-0 down, we soon got going and struck back with 2 goals going into half time. 2nd half we scored another goal to lead 3-1... they threw everything at us with 7min to go they grabbed a goal 3-2 - we dug deep and defended well to hold on for a great victory.

The All Stars distinguished themselves throughout the season losing only 2 games and having the best goals scored and against record. What made it all the more special was most of the opposition were U11's teams!! - their enthusiasm in competing for every ball and their excellent team play maintained our 100% record in 6 a side football - bring on the Autumn 6 a side!

Tyson Holmes our leading goal scorer missed the final due to Tiger mania in Melbourne.

A huge round of applause for Phil Smith, David Springfeld and Sue Hall for your efforts with coaching, conditioning and managing the 6-a-side team who organised the team and built the team spirit on which this great result was built!

Well done All Stars - Good luck in the Autumn 6 a side.
