It was great to see most teams back training and playing this weekend as we look forward to a couple more weeks of footy to wind up the season.

Thanks to everyone for all their background work to help make this possible.

Congratulations goes to our Women's Blacks who were crowned Div 1 Champs. Well done girls.

Giddy up!
Wayne

UPCOMING EVENTS AND NEWS
Due to COVID and constricted timeframes we have had to rejig and change some events, and unfortunately the Quiz Night and Norm's Bowls Afternoon are casualties.

The following are tentatively booked in:
  • Sun 3 October, 2pm - 100 Club final draw
  • Fri 15 Oct, 7:30pm - Sponsors thank you night
  • Sat 16 Oct, 5pm -  Prizegiving - we will only be going ahead with prizegiving if we can have a crowd of 100 and if this is not possible it will be held as a pre-season event.
Another casualty of the current COVID restrictions is the Coastal Spirit U19 tournament - read more here.
 
Dunedin Suburbs Hub Update
The committee carefully considered all aspects of potentially having a combined hub team with ourselves, Green Island & Mosgiel in next year's South Island League.

Unfortunately, when push came to shove, and at late notice, we were informed that we would also have to have a combined hub team in the local premier league. With our first team having to play Fletcher Cup we went very cold, very quickly on this idea as this simply was not an option to us, the committee, the other clubs involved and probably not you and our many loyal supporters and members. All three clubs were unanimous that we wanted to maintain an individual local premier league presence and that was not negotiable.

What has been a positive out of this exercise is the fact that we have built on our relations with both Green Island and Mosgiel, but in the meantime the hub idea in the senior space has been put on the back-burner. If things were to change in the future we may potentially revisit this idea in some form or another.
 
Changing Sheds Update
Like everything else, COVID has slowed the progress of our renovation project a bit but PV has redrawn the revised plans and a structural engineer has been engaged for his expertise.

From there we have confirmed another meeting with the boffins at the DCC, with the aim to get the project approved and then next we will get quotes for the revised plans. After that we can apply for some additional grants and look to have this project completed by the start of next season.

Exciting times!
