Men's Wrap Up

By David Bevan, Men's VP

Following on from last season’s achievements was always daunting task. To recap, the 2021 season saw the highest finish for our premier league squad and all our pennant teams promoted. Despite the lack of flags this year, I think the men’s section can look back on 2022 as a success.

Growth and progression were the objectives for 2022 and we absolutely hit those aims. We entered 7 teams again this year, cementing our club as one of (if not the) biggest men’s section in the State.

Furthermore, we more than filled our pitch allocations at training (even in those cold winter months) and continued to show up en masse on the sidelines. In an environment that has seen other clubs shrink, we’ve continued to steam ahead.

 

Going into next season, we will unfortunately be without our head coach, Josh Pollard. Over last few seasons it would not be understatement to say that he has transformed the men’s section -both on and off the pitch. He’s not going away completely (thankfully) – but we’d like to thank him enormously for all of his work.

A massive thankyou to all the volunteers we’ve had over the season. We’ve been blessed with some fantastic coaches – notably EJ, Andrew Ross and Greg Paul – who all took the reins for their teams for the first time this year. We’ve also had great support from our team managers, tech bench officials, umpires and ball boys!
