Park Orchards North Ringwood ParishHi All Sharks
I observed some wonderful football matches over the weekend. They were close, tough encounters whilst played in good spirit. It’s amazing how the game of football can teach many of life’s lessons. Caring for your team mates, participating in a team environment, respecting our opposition through to following rules. Society is no different, participation, looking out for others, obeying regulations and displaying respect.
What a fantastic year our teams are having. Whist our Club focuses on participation, fun and improving the children’s skills – all players know where their teams sit on the ladder. Ten rounds in with only five Home & Away matches left, the competitive juices are flowing. Out of a potential 18 teams (U11s upwards) playing for points, we currently have four in first position. There are currently 8 teams in the top 4 with six others knocking on the door. Players, Mums & Dads, enjoy the ride and I hope you get the chance to experience finals. Well done to all players to date.
For a couple of our teams, it has been a bit of a struggle, however keep your heads up and enjoy playing for your teammates and self. I know it’s sometimes difficult but lessons learnt from this year will help to improve us all next year.
Representative Acknowledgement
Once again we are honoured to have an extensive list of our players selected to represent the Sharks across a range of high level competitions. It is an outstanding recognition of a player’s skill, their embodiment of our club’s culture and their potential in the wider football community.

** CORRECTION** Colts / U18YG & Life Members Dinner
Please note that the transition dinner is for final players only. My Apologies in last week’s message, I incorrectly stated it was for all colts (inc. U18YG & U17YG). The evening is for those players in their last eligible year of junior football. It doesn’t correlate with what team you compete in each week. Thank you for your understanding.
The Club will pay for the Player’s food and also Life Members in attendance. Numbers need to be confirmed by 20th July. Parents are encouraged to attend however, will need to pay a nominal $29.00 for a 2 course meal. Drinks are at bar prices. The event will be held at Club Kilsyth, corner of Canterbury Road and Colchester Roads, Bayswater North.
Committee
At the end of Season 2018 a number of positions will become vacant on Committee. These roles are a mixture of Executive, Non-Executive and Off-Committee roles and they include;
Director of Football, Events Manager, Marketing, Social Media Coordinator, and understudy for Director of Team Managers. Whilst these opportunities are open to all Parents, I’d love to see the next age bracket, our Parents of U 11s and U 12s take the opportunity of being able to grow into the roles. We are NOW seeking your support so if you’re in a position to assist, please contact me.
Summary
Enjoy the next two weekends off. I trust all players will help their parents out around the home. See you all for Round 11 on Sunday July 15th.
Go Sharks!!
