Has the AFL already won the war? emember when AFL was just some weird thing they played down in Melbourne that resembled aerial ping pong?

Oh, how we laughed.

When the Sydney Swans arrived on the scene in the early 1980s and the AFL was determined to become a truly national game, we continued to chuckle.

The Swans struggled for survival during the dark times of the late 1980s and early 1990s, almost wiped off the map financially and struggling to get any serious recognition in what was a rugby league city through and through.

On the back of Tony Lockett’s arrival in 1995, the Swans finally started to make some ground, helped out by rugby league’s bitter Super League war, and have never really looked back.

Almost without the NRL noticing, the Swans would go on to capture a piece of Sydney’s heart and importantly, discretionary spending.

A couple of premierships, consistent success and high profile signings ensured the Swans became a permanent part of the sporting landscape in the Harbour city, albeit the poorer cousin to rugby league for much of that time.

While rugby league continued to fumble about, remaining Sydney-centric and watching attempts to expand into markets such as Perth, southern Queensland and Adelaide fail, the AFL quietly went about their business.

While continuing to build on its success in Melbourne, the code’s careful planning would eventually see each major city in Australia represented by two clubs.

Head office knew that meant local derbies, and as soccer has also proven,

R

“They want our kids, which is why they put so much focus on school visits”

derbies are the key to grabbing publicity and interest from people whose sporting eyeballs are usually focused elsewhere.

The introduction of the Gold Coast Suns ensured a Queensland derby, while the GWS Giants’ debut in 2012 was the ultimate chess move. No longer scared by rugby league’s dominance, the AFL declared Sydney was its to own.

And to be honest, it was the equivalent of moving an entire football team into the city via a wooden horse.

Rugby league was arrogant, and either didn’t care or didn’t notice what the AFL was doing.

Fans and officials laughed again, just like they did back in the early 1980s.

A few lone voices warned of what was to come, including Panthers boss Phil Gould who on countless times has preached to the NRL about the threat the AFL provides. They either don’t listen, or don’t have a clue what to do about it.

We’ve seen in recent years, and in particular recent months, that the NRL is a shambles at head office.

The Commission, which was once considered the giant hope of the game, has been a giant failure.

The AFL, meanwhile, continue with their invasion.

The GWS Giants have finished this year in the top four and are a realistic hope at winning the premiership. They are continuing to slowly build a fan base. The AFL doesn’t care how long it takes.

The AFL doesn’t even care if you or I become a Giants or Swans fans.

They want our kids, which is why they put so much focus on school visits.

Anyone who thinks the AFL’s invasion is not a reality is kidding themselves.

Rugby league crowds this year in Sydney were hugely concerning, and I can’t count how many times I was embarrassed watching games on TV with thousands of empty seats at ANZ or Allianz Stadiums. I assure you that the much talked about upgrades won’t change a thing in terms of crowd numbers.

We’ll bring out plenty of excuses, of course, headed up by the fact that Sydney has nine clubs versus just two Sydney teams in the AFL. Fine, but five of them couldn’t even manage to attract a crowd that rivalled one of the AFL sides in some weekends during the year.

The NRL has plenty on its plate at the moment, including a bitter dispute with clubs and players. The biggest threat to rugby league may well be from within given the shambles at headquarters, but a close second is very much the AFL. The AFL is not just winning the war, they may have already won it.

Local apprenticeship numbers falling Labor says drop in enrolments and high course fees must be addressed for sake of students’ future EMILY NEWTON

ith one third fewer apprenticeships in the Blue Mountains this year, Labor is fighting to support skilled work for young Australians.

Labor Senator and Shadow Minister for Skills and Apprenticeships, Doug Cameron attended the Western Sydney Apprenticeship and Traineeship Expo at Penrith Panthers last week, calling for more to be done to address falling apprenticeship and TAFE numbers.

“Forums like this are absolutely essential so that young people understand that going to a vocational education system can give you good jobs, high skills and good pay,” Mr Cameron said.

“I’ve had no tertiary education, I’m a fitter by trade, and I’ve ended up in the Senate, so it can open up opportunities for you. It opens up Australia and it opens up the world.”

A part of National Skills Week, Mr Cameron was joined by Federal Member for Macquarie Susan Templeman, Federal Member for Lindsay Emma Husar and State Member for Londonderry Prue Car. The cost of going to TAFE has “exponentially risen”, Ms Car said.

W

“The NSW Government have increased the pressure on TAFE to deliver similar products on less money, so as a result of that, fees across the state as an average have risen by about 22 per cent,” she added.

“For a basic Certificate III or Certificate IV at TAFE in NSW, in most trades, you’re looking at $4,000 to $5,000. Four or five years ago, that was somewhere in the order of $500.”

Ms Templeman says it’s vital that local institutions including the Wentworth Falls TAFE is maintained, as recent conversations she has had with students about their future reveals their anxiety.

“What we risk having is a generation who has actually lost hope that they can afford skills because of the extra cost they see,” she said.

“To see one in three less people skilling up to become an apprentice is just a huge blow.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for Skills John Barilaro also attended the Expo at Panthers.

“A recent Skilling Australia report showed Vocational Education and Training is actually a more certain pathway to employment than university and offers better prospects for higher pay,” he said.

Funding boost for Cultural Centre $100,000 in funding to upgrade audio-visual technology for Mountains’ most visited cultural institution ERIN MAMO

lue Mountains Cultural Centre will receive over $100,000 in funding to upgrade their audio-visual technology and improve the quality of art exhibits and sound and film installations.

Minister for Racing Paul Toole visited the Cultural Centre recently to make the funding announcement, which will see the local landmark receive new LED lighting, projectors, speakers and screening equipment.

Mr Toole said the funding will allow the centre to expand its programming and provide enhanced artistic experiences for over 100,000 visitors each year.

“I congratulate Blue Mountains City Council for their successful application which will mean a great local community asset becomes even better,” he said.

The centre is the most visited cultural institution in the Blue Mountains, and has been used by more than 200 community organisations since it opened in 2012.

Director of the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, Paul Brinkman, said the grant funding would enable the Cultural Centre to go from strength to strength.

“It will greatly enhance our audio-visual

NSW Minister for Racing Paul Toole visited the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre to announce a successful funding grant capabilities and the audience experience, which is particularly special as we celebrate our fifth birthday,” he said.

The upgrades will be funded from the Government’s Infrastructure Grants supported by the ClubGrants Category 3 program.

ClubGrants is a scheme where local RSL and sporting clubs can voluntarily donate funding to community groups, charities

and sporting teams across NSW. Approximately 500 clubs voluntarily allocate funds to the ClubGrants scheme.

Mr Toole said that more than $50 million in ClubGrants funding is being provided in the current term of government for local community infrastructure projects across arts and culture, sport and recreation and emergency preparedness.

“These grants are funded through a

rebate on the state’s registered clubs’ gaming machines to reinvest profits back into community projects,” he said.

The latest round of arts and culture infrastructure funding has seen 13 projects across NSW chosen from more than 90 applicants.

The Cultural Centre has obtained three different grants this year, bringing their total amount of grant funding to $200,000.

Next stop: Passion Train enthusiast to open up huge exhibit for locals ERIN MAMO

alley Heights resident Roslyn Reynolds is opening up her home this weekend to fellow train and railway enthusiasts.

The 70-year-old, who has always had a passion for trains, currently houses a 30 x 50 feet model railway which she built with her late husband, Keith, in her back shed.

“When we first moved to Valley Heights in 1999 we built the shed for this exact purpose,” Mrs Reynolds told the Record.

“We then spent the next four years, almost every weekend, building the railway track and the little towns that surround it.”

This weekend visitors can view the unique exhibit, simply by gold coin donation.

Many of the tiny towns Mr and Mrs Reynolds have built have some meaning or significance behind them.

“I was born in Lismore and grew up in St Marys, and then spent a few years in St Clair,” Mrs Reynolds said.

“So they are each in there as I remember them.”

A mini Valley Heights station also makes up part of the exhibit, displaying what it

V

looked like back in 1955.

There’s also a Newcastle station, a South Creek station which was originally what St Marys station was called, and a Kentucky Fried Chicken in almost every town.

Mrs Reynolds said she’s had a strong interest in trains since a young age.

“I grew up in St Marys near the train line and I used to climb my back fence and sit on my neighbour’s porch watching the steam trains roll through,” she said.

Many moons later, Mrs Reynolds met Mr Reynolds at a Model Railway Club meeting in Blacktown.

The two then spent a lot of their time volunteering at Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum, establishing and then maintaining the gardens.

It wasn’t until Mr Reynolds passed away from cancer in 2009 that his wife decided to showcase the one kilometre train track and 90 miniature trains in her shed.

Now the retiree said she enjoys sharing her passion with the community and raising money for local hospital chaplaincies.

Over the years Mrs Reynolds has raised around $2,700, which has been donated to various hospitals.

Locals can visit the exhibition this Saturday, September 9 from 1pm to 4.30pm at 39 Green Parade, Valley Heights.

Parliament sits again this week, and no doubt the issue of citizenship – and why members of the National Party and others who appear to be in breach of the Constitution are still voting on legislation – will be front and centre.

However, while the drama of Question Time will likely dominate the news coverage, there will be other things happening that you don’t get to see.

I’ve previously written about the public hearings that take place for each Standing Committee, and the policy discussions that take place within the Labor Party caucus committees.

There are also the private meetings and the more public events.

Having all of us in one place is a magnet for advocacy groups, who head to Canberra to see as many MPs as possible in one go, to raise awareness about their issues.

In recent weeks I have met with a wide range of people including rail industry workers urging a more unified approach to rail manufacturing, a non-profit group wanting to change the focus of family law to consider the impact on children more, a representative of a multinational firm to discuss legislation to reduce slav-

This week my calendar shows the chance to attend, among other things, a briefing on coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, a celebration of Girl Guides, a roundtable on Aged Care and a briefing on human trafficking.

Whether I am able to attend all these events will also depend on when speeches are scheduled in either the main Chamber of the House of Representatives or the Federation Chamber.

And if local schools are visiting Parliament, they are my priority too.

So, while there might be a shot of me on the nightly news, it’s barely a glimpse into what really happens in Parliament.

Old Farts recruitment drive begins Fellas, it’s time to get off the couch and join the new Blue Mountains branch of the Touring Old Farts ERIN MAMO

he Old Farts are touring in a bid to recruit new members.

An organisation with an unusual name, the Touring Old Farts (TOFS) is calling on retired and semi-retired men in the Blue Mountains to join them for social activities and outings.

Founder John Wareham said the group began informally when a few friends living on the Central Coast started a series of regular outings to places that they were interested in.

“We started the group because we figured a lot of guys are happy to sit at home and watch TV once they retire and we wanted to encourage them to get out,” he said.

“TOFS is affordable and interesting and we have a lot of fun together and learn a little more about life, our surrounds and each other.”

Now 10 years in, the Old Farts want to form a group in the Blue Mountains.

“We’ve already got about 15 men from places like Springwood, Blaxland and Blackheath who join us on days out that we do locally and around the state,” Mr Wareham said.

T

The Touring Old Farts at Victoria Barracks “I believe if we had a local group set up, those who are already members would be more inclined to take part in events more frequently and others would sign up.”

In the Mountains, the retirees have visited places like the Lithgow Small Arms Factory, the Model Railway in Valley Heights and walked along the Charles Darwin track at Wentworth Falls.

TOFS already has six groups in NSW set

dear record...

up in places like Sutherland, Ku-ring-gai and Forster with over 200 men from different professions and walks of life taking part in monthly activities.

Mr Wareham said most partners approve of the organisation and even get a chance to be involved.

“Once a year we have a partner’s day where the wives can come along and see what it’s all about,” he said.

Religion and marriage

Protecting kids from abuse

So, the media reports that polls claim that religious Australians support same-sex marriage, all I have to say is this, religious folks might, but Christians do not. Indeed I’ve got some real bad news for anyone who claims to be a Christian and supports same-sex marriage, that news is this; you are not a Christian.

RICHARD MERRELL, VIA EMAIL

National Child Protection Week runs from September 3-9. In this week we take the time to reflect on child protection issues and promote the wellbeing of our young people. I am asking for a world without child abuse, and we can only achieve that though creating safe environments for our kids. Reports of child abuse are overwhelming and give witness to the lack of accountability for adults who abuse young people. Sadly, some communities are looking the other way, ignoring the abuse of children because this is the easiest option. People don’t want to get involved in notifying assaults on our young people because of the fear of the consequences from the perpetrators. Nothing is more important than protecting our vulnerable children from abuse and neglect. Child abuse goes beyond the tears and pain experienced in childhood. Victims endure a lifetime of psychological and emotional distress, they often become drug users to kill the pain of abuse, attempt suicide, selfmutilate and have major trust issues. We, as a society, must ensure that we provide our children with a safe and supportive environment, so that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We as a community need to listen to what is happening to our young people.

FATHER CHRIS RILEY, CEO AND FOUNDER AT YOUTH OFF THE STREETS

I can’t agree with Peter Stapleton, that there is a war on – a one-sided conversation maybe but not armed conflict. I can’t recall same-sex marriage as an issue in the last Council elections.

On what basis does Council claim to represent ratepayers by only presenting the Yes case? Neither have I noticed any features in the Blue Mountains Record on couples quietly and happily living out a long term opposite sex marriage. Shortly there will be a meeting of young people in the Lower Blue Mountains to consider the pros and cons of a Yes or a No vote in the planned plebiscite. Would you be able to find time to cover that meeting?

What about a piece on a local community leader who knows that it is OK to vote No? It will be great to have a constructive conversation, not a monologue, on this important issue.

TAKE A NUMBER

80 The Aussie “no worries” attitude is being challenged with new research from the Financial Planning Association revealing 80 per cent of working-age Australians are stressed about money and finances, with one in four indicating acute stress levels.

Generations X and Y are most stressed about their finances, with at least one in three claiming they are extremely or very stressed about it.

Women are much more likely than men to feel extremely or very stressed.

KEEPING BLUE MOUNTAINS RESIDENTS INFORMED ON WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO

Max is leaving the building

A KATE REID

fter 30 years and a staggering 30 Australian tours, Elvis tribute artist Max Pellicano is hanging up his blue suede shoes – when it comes to

Australia at least.

The performer of the hit show Elvis to the Max is heading Down Under for the final time this month for ‘Thank You Very Much: The Farewell Tour’.

Part of the reason for the farewell is to

allow Max time to focus on one of his other passions: acting.

“I’ve never had a chance to really work on my acting, so that’s one of the reasons why I did it because when I go on tour I’m gone for two to three months at a time,” Max said.

“The travelling now as I get a little older, it really wears on you and it takes a longer time to recuperate,” he laughed.

Along with the acting there’s also two little, but very important, reasons to spend more time at his home in the US. “I’ve got two little baby grandkids right now, so I really want to spend time with them too,” Max said.

While the farewell is a sad time for Max,

it’s no doubt just as heartbreaking for his Australian fans, who over the years have offered the sort of reception that would rival that of ‘The King’ himself.

“My first Australian tour I played at the Hotel Adelaide for eight weeks straight, six nights a week,” Max said.

“We were sold-out every single night, I had never seen a turn out like that.”

It was then that Max’s love affair with Australia began, leading him to become one of the most frequent international visitors to our shores.

In a fitting tribute to those early years, Max has promised his Australian fans a return to where it all began.

“I’ve made so many friends in Australia,

and I’ve got a big Elvis following, so I told everybody I’m going to do the same type of show that I did the first time I came to Australia,” he said.

It’s those people that Max said he will miss the most when the touring ends.

“The country is wonderful but it’s really about the people. I’ve made so many lasting relationships over there, so that’s what I’m going to miss,” he said.

“And maybe Vegemite,” he said, before a moment of contemplation.

“Nah, I hate it,” he laughed.

Elvis to the Max will be on at Rooty Hill RSL on Friday, September 15 at 8pm.

Tickets start at $59. To purchase tickets, visit www.rootyhillrsl.com.au.

THE BLUE MOUNTAINS’ BEST LINE-UP OF LIFESTYLE EXPERTS

ARIES

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

your horoscopes

Rams can be a selfish lot, as you become self-absorbed with your moods, dreams and daily dramas. But, with the Full Moon and Neptune highlighting your humanitarian side, it’s a wonderful week to re-connect with others, roll up your sleeves, and help those around you. Your ruler Mars moves into earthy Virgo which will help to stabilise your fiery Aries energy. So it’s a terrific time to take a bold idea and turn it into a practical project.

TAURUS

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

If you expect a domestic matter to proceed at a cracking pace then you’ll be disappointed. Everything will take longer than expected, as retro Mercury muddles proceedings and the Full Moon provides distracting detours along the way. And have you drawn up a wish list of your goals for the future? Remember – you can’t hit a target if you haven’t got one!

Use your earthy energy in practical ways.

GEMINI

MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

Joanne Madeline Moore Weekly posts at www.bohoastro.com twitter @JoMadelineMoore Copyright Joanne Madeline Moore 2017

After three long weeks, thank goodness Mercury finally goes direct on Tuesday.

Communication, conversation, business, education and travel should all gradually improve as the week progresses. But nebulous Neptune and the Full Moon could still throw some confusion into the mix! Especially involving work and/or family matters. So think before you speak and if you find yourself compelled to spread secrets, just zip it and say nothing!

CANCER

JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

With retrograde Mercury, nebulous Neptune and a loopy Full Moon, things won’t run smoothly early in the week.

Especially involving communication, education, travel and/or social media. If you adapt to changing circumstances, and accept mistakes and misunderstandings with good grace, then you’ll manage just fine. Beyonce: “If everything was perfect, you would never learn or grow”.

LOCAL • PROFESSIONAL SAFE • RELIABLE

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

Self-delusion is a danger early in the week. Plus be very clear in the way you explain things to other people, otherwise you’re likely to get your wires crossed and your true meaning will be scrambled.

Then Mercury goes direct, so communication should start to improve from Wednesday onwards. Saturday is your number one day of the week. The powerful Sun/Pluto trine boosts your charisma and heightens your creativeness.

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

This week’s stars highlight your helpful nature and your strong desire to be of service to others. But do other people actually require your assistance? With Mars moving into your sign, be careful you’re not just being a bossy meddler. If you are too quick to critique others, then you could find yourself with a fractious friend, a cranky colleague or a livid lover on your hands.

LIBRA

SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

Have you been burning the midnight oil and now you’re suffering from burnout?

Or have you been running around on auto-pilot, making unusually careless mistakes? With the Sun and Mars both hibernating in your solitude zone it’s the perfect week to go AWOL as you slip into hermit mode, down-size your social life, or organise a digital detox. Spending quality time on your own (for some overdue R & R) is absolutely essential at the moment.

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Early in the week Neptune, retrograde Mercury and the Full Moon all shine a bright spotlight on how well you communicate with others. Especially a child, teenager, lover or friend. If you don’t take the time to really listen to what they are saying, then you’ll get your wires crossed.

Saturday’s Sun/Pluto trine provides a golden opportunity for you to influence people in a powerful and positive fashion.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

A close friend or family member is looking to you for sensitive emotional support, inspirational ideas or personal encouragement. Not criticism or tactless comments. So slip on your compassionate hat and adjust your approach accordingly.

Mighty Mars charges through your career zone. So it’s time to stop procrastinating and instead, be professionally bold and proactive. As the week progresses, the early bird gets the work worm!

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

Avoid being a gullible Goat early in the week, when Mercury is still retrograde and someone may try to pull the wool over your eyes. Stay alert. Aim to channel Wednesday’s Full Moon energy into friendships, community projects or humanitarian pursuits. But the more you dig your heels in and refuse to budge, the more frustrating the weekend will be. So strive to be flexible!

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

This week Neptune and the Full Moon scramble your financial antennae. So it’s not a good time to borrow funds, invest, go on a shopping spree or lend money to others, as you’re liable to make financial decisions based on your emotions.

Saturday brings some welcome stability, when the Sun/Pluto trine ignites your intuition and activates your inner voice, and you come up with the solution to a stubborn problem.

PISCES

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

The planets confuse love and communication, so be careful you’re not viewing people through rose-coloured glasses.

Creative inspiration and intuitive insights are highlighted, but don’t get so carried away that you head into the realm of pure fantasy. When it comes to a major goal, are you and your partner are on the same page? If you’re single, can you differentiate a dream date from a dud?

Hidden salt lurking in our everyday supermarket items While salt isn’t public enemy number one, we do need to be careful of how much we’re consuming in our diet...

Kate Reid Nutritionist kate.reid@ westernweekender.com.au @kate_reid6

By now most of us know about the link between high salt diets and increased risk of heart disease.

But did you also know that many seemingly healthy packaged foods can be packed full of salt?

The Heart Foundation, in conjunction with VicHealth, recently launched the ‘Unpack the Salt’ campaign to draw awareness to the staggering amount of hidden salt in common packaged foods.

While it’s true that we need a certain amount of salt for the body to function, we can generally reach this target simply from fresh foods like fruit and vegetables.

But in reality we all consume packaged goods, which means that even if you skip salt at the dinner table you could unknowingly be having too much salt in your diet.

Some of the biggest culprits include cooking sauces, breads, ready meals, processed meats, dressings, condiments, dips and crackers, cheese and baked goods.

This doesn’t mean those foods have to be off the menu, but it pays to be smart

when it comes time to head down the supermarket aisles.

The Heart Foundation recommends a maximum salt intake for healthy adults of 5g (approximately one teaspoon and equivalent to 2000mg of sodium).

To achieve this there’s a few simple changes you can make.

Of course, eating as much fresh produce as possible is a great place to start, but if you do buy packaged vegetables aim for frozen over tinned as tinned options are packaged in salt and water – often known as brine.

If you do choose tinned products, be sure to drain and rinse them to remove any excess salt.

When you’re doing the shopping it also pays to read the label.

Keep an eye out for no salt or low salt varieties. If there’s no mention on the label then the Unpack the Salt campaign recommends checking the nutrition panel for sodium and trying to avoid products with more than 400mg of sodium per 100g.

When it comes time to sit down to your meal, skip the salt shaker and try seasoning with fresh herbs or pepper instead.

Salt is not the enemy, but as with anything nutrition related it pays to be informed so you can achieve a healthy balance.

Happy eating!

keep reminding myself that these are a pair of white wines I shouldn’t be reviewing. Sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio … call it pinot gris, call it whatever you like … are normally two of my least favourite grape varieties.

I usually regard the varieties as weeds. As blots on the viticultural landscape. As wines taking up bottleshop and wine list space that should rightly be the preserve of royalty such as chardonnay, riesling and semillon.

Yet I find myself inexorably drawn to these two wines from Angullong, whose vineyards are perched on the edge of Mount Cabobolas, on the outskirts of Orange, in the Central West of NSW. They’re wines that are fresh, aromatic and true to variety. They’re wines ideally suited to our lifestyle as the weather begins to warm up. So I will review them, and I will recommend them in the strongest of terms.

Damn the torpedos, as Tom Petty, one of the finest rock performers would sing, damn the torpedos.

Visit www.angullong.com.au.

WINE REVIEWS Angullong 2017 Pinot Grigio ($20): A vibrant, crisp dry white in the true Italian grigio style but with ample palate flavour for its price tag.

WINE OF THE WEEK Tim Adams 2015 The Aberfeldy Shiraz ($65): The Aberfeldy has long been one of my favourite reds.

Much of the input comes from low-yielding, 100-yearold Clare Valley vines and it shows in the intensity of flavour that Tim regularly achieves. Its dark berry flavours and soft fullness make it a natural with most hearty meat dishes.

t’s not everyday a 17-year-old gets to travel to the other side of the world to play the sport he loves. But for Blaxland High School student Mason Ingram, this will be his reality come January next year.

The talented teenager has been selected to represent Australia during the upcoming Under 20’s Schoolboys Tour in England.

Mason, who has been playing soccer since he was in Kindergarten, said it’s a proud moment for both he and his family.

“Both my parents and I were born in England, so it’s great to be going back,” he said.

Mason made the Australian squad after playing for NSW in the recent National Schools Football Championships.

His team was undefeated in the round robin competition, conceding just one goal.

Now the Australian Schoolboys team will spend three weeks abroad battling teams from all over Europe and the United Kingdom.

Blaxland High teacher and Sydney West Football Club coach, Peter Henderson, said players can expect to eat, sleep and breathe the game during the time they are away.

“They will play about six games while they are in England,” he said.
