President’s Report: Round 7

Hi All Sharks

Thank you to all of the attendees at the Sharkwiz on Saturday Night. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd enormous and the noise at disco level. Representation was awesome from our Auskickers, Under 8’s through to the Colts. Well done all for participating. 

Congratulations go out to all the U12 helpers from, Kirsten, Peter & Nina through to the support helpers with wrapping and set up for the night. Our veteran, Mike Newton had the evening flow wonderfully and without a hiccup. Thanks to Dave Philipsen for a truly remarkable trivia set of questions and the ability to allow the evening to flow.

Dave, thanks for the video displaying shots of every team, milestones and the Sharks Youth Girls. Our vision is to empower and grow Youth Girls in our Sharks family next year. To date we have had over 68 registrations with 3 teams in operation.

Wow! What a night.

Well done to table 12 on winning the evening by just a few points ahead of my table 2.  To table 9, thanks for trying so hard, however may I suggest that pre-trivia drinks may not be the best idea next year? We were looking for factual answers, not ‘creativeness’.

Anyway, as our major fundraiser for the year, the 180+ in attendance voted it a great night.

Breaking news – I’ve just heard that after the first part of the progressive question in Round 1 “I was born on 7th April 1964 and my father was Hotel Manager and my mother a Catering Manager.”  Thanks to the table who nominated “Ritchie Appleby.”  I don’t mind being compared to Russell Crowe!

GO SHARKS!!

Queen’s Birthday Weekend

Just a note of confirmation that, NO matches will be played this weekend. Please enjoy family time instead. Boys, how about making Mum breaky in bed either Sunday on Monday? Also, do your chores around the home, this can be done as a thank you for your parents taking you to your matches and training.

Senior Sharks Report

On Saturday prior to Trivia Night, the Senior Sharks played the Basin at home.  The U19s, Reserves and Seniors all saluted the day with wonderful wins.

The game plans are being adapted to and the boys are on a great winning streak.  After 8 rounds the Seniors are sitting in first position with 6 wins.  The Reserves are also in first position with 7 wins.  The U19s are equal first (though second on percentage) with 8 wins from 8 matches for the season.  Fantastic effort to all involved from players to coaches, support roles, membership and the supporters in the outer.  Keep it up guys; it’s great to see ALL IN!

Summary

Wishing everyone a great long weekend.

Go Sharks!!
