Pomona Junior AFL Club sign on day
Clinton’s swim challenge to raise money for charity POMONA is home to a special sporting club affectionately known as the Pomona Demons. The Club prides itself on its family-friendly and welcoming environment and unwavering commitment to Junior footy. And this month, the Club is holding a sign on day on 12 February at the Pomona AFL grounds. The Demons have big aspirations for the 2022 season with competitive teams registered across all
age groups (U6-U14) including Under 15 Girls. If you are new to the area or you always wanted to play AFL then please come and meet the Club. The Club has produced talented young players for the past 20 years. Just recently, several players representing Noosa District in U12 and U14 and three of our U14 girls made the Brisbane Lions Academy. The oval is located at the foot of Cooroora Mountain and is arguably the most
idyllic oval in Queensland, if not Australia. The Club was born in 1973 where its first home was the Pomona Show Grounds oval. However, in 1977 the Club moved to the current site on Reserve Road, repurposing the Pomona School’s domestic science building as a clubhouse. The Club survives and thrives through the determined attitude of our Players and Committee, the passionate and never-say-
die culture in the club; and for the inherent love of ‘the game’. Club President, Matthew Conquest is all these things and friendliest guy you will ever meet to boot. The Demons are a small club that needs community support, whether that be in the form of new players, volunteers, supporters or financial sponsorship so grab at coffee at the Pomona Markets and pop down to say ‘Hi’. You can even try out the stationary hot air balloon!
COOROY’S Super Fish, Clinton Stanley, is raising much-needed funds for sick kids. Clinton is participating in the Starlight Super Swim Challenge, to raise money for The Starlight Foundation. Clinton said that he is going to swim as far as he can in the month of February. “My challenge is to swim at least 50 kilometres. “We’ve all recently experienced periods of uncertainty and social isolation, and children and families who manage serious illness, face this every day. “I am going to fundraise to bring happiness to sick kids when it matters most, and it would mean so much to me and The Starlight Foundation if you’d support me in this challenge.” If you would like to support Clinton in his swim challenge, please go to: https://superswim.org.au/clinton “I am swimming under the umbrella of Noosa Masters Swimming Club, where I have been a member for 19 years. “All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and you will be given a receipt for your donation.”
