MSEFL PRESIDENT’S REPORT

It is with pleasure that I present my Grand Final report to you as President of the Mid South Eastern Football League (MSEFL).

All roads lead to Kongorong for the 2024 Mid South Eastern Football League (MSEFL) Grand Final and on behalf of the Mid South Eastern Football League I extend a warm welcome to you as we seek an excing ﬁnish to 2024 in all grades of Netball and Football aer a sensaonal season with some close contests having already been played in the ﬁnals series.

Thank you to Nangwarry (1st Semi), Hatherleigh (2nd Semi), & Kalangadoo (Preliminary Final) for showcasing your club facilies and for being excellent hosts in the three ﬁnals and I am certain today once again at Kongorong will be no excepon.

Despite another challenging year, the oval surface is in great condion and all other maers will be taken care of under the leadership of Kongorong Football Club President Amanda Sealey

I thank all of the League's member clubs for your efforts and achievements on and off the field this year as well as the work that you do in your communies as leaders. People in our communies are reliant on the social and sporng opportunies that are provided by the Football and Netball Clubs. Our communies are faced with many challenges in today's world and our sporng clubs need to connue to be the hub of the community providing opportunies and social interacon for everyone. We must always strive for connuous improvement to ensure the long term viability and sustainability of the League and all member clubs. It is fantasc to see the obvious pride and joy in the support that goes for each club from their communies and the people in it and I'm sure we'll see plenty of club colours and vocal support today in all football and netball contests.

One of the many high points of any season is always the interleague compeon. I thank all the clubs and players for their connued support. The League parcipated in the SE zone carnival against the newly formed LCFNL in the Seniors & against the LCFNL & KNTFL in the U15's & U17's on the June long weekend, which was hosted by the LCFNL at South Gambier. I take this opportunity to thank Senior Coach Clint Gallio, Under 17 Coach Jed Telfer, Under 15 Coach Mahew Fox and their players and support staff for their efforts. Interleague football showcases our League and provides a pathway and opportunity for our players. Our U15 side played well on the day to win both matches to win the shield. From the Senior Carnival the MSEFL had five players Patrick Chay & Mitch Pulmer (Hatherleigh), Sam Wallis (Mount Burr), Tye McManus (Kalangadoo) and Dylan Childs (Glencoe) chosen in the SE Zone team to play in the SA Country Championships at Victor Harbor, where they all performed admirably. The side finished the Carnival in fih place aer a couple of close losses on Friday night and Saturday. Clint Gallio was an assistant coach and Sam Benne was our trainer and Ma Ballantyne carried the drinks..

As in previous years, imbalances on the scoreboard and lack of numbers have been issues in our underage compeons. It is pleasing to see clubs connue to work towards providing the playing opportunies starng at Auskick and the Under 11's as this is crical to sustaining our junior numbers in later years. Thanks also to Heath Sims, SANFL Game Development Coordinator – South East for all the support you provide at this level. I connue to urge all clubs to work with schools and Auskick programs to provide that pathway for your next MSEFL club footballers.

Thanks to our Match Review Oﬃcers and Tribunal Commissioners that have been needed to adjudicate on a couple of occasions throughout the season and thanks for your commitment and assistance.

Neil Webber, our Umpires Director once again had another challenging year with many injuries and unavailability's, however good support and cooperaon from clubs ensured that all posions were ﬁlled each week. The League sll needs to gain new umpires to ensure that we connue to have adequate numbers and to keep the umpiring panel

strong. I encourage any newly rered player or any person (male or female) that may be interested in becoming an umpire to come forward – training and assistance is provided and it is a great way to sll be involved in the game that we all love. Our Umpire Scholarship is available to encourage and reward new central umpires and we hope that it will provide a pathway to bolster our ageing umpire panel. The League would love to hear from those that have just rered as footballers and even our younger males and females that have a love of the game and would like to be involved.

It has been a good season for the netballers and we are delighted with their successes and we are keen to connue to build on and strengthen the relaonship again next season. Thanks Sara to you and your team on a job well done.

It is pleasing that the netball and football relaonships are connuing to get beer at Club and League level, but there will always be ways to improve and strengthen those bonds. Both sports rely on each other being successful to ensure a vibrant and sustainable compeon in all grades.

All outlets of the Media (print, radio & web sites) have promoted the MSEFL very well, however I believe we all need to connue to provide good stories to the media so that we get beer coverage of our League.

Xpress Signs have once again published the Budget this season online culminang in this week's superb Grand Final Budget publicaon, which is a collector's item for all MSEFL enthusiasts and clubs.

We acknowledge the generous sponsorship provided by our partners and sponsors of the Family League –All of our season sponsors have been promoted in the Budget during the year and include the following: South East Property Sales & Management, Belgravia Sports Apparel, Victor Sports, Mahews Petroleum, Sherrin, Thomas Foods Internaonal, Marjadah Rams, Total Tools, I & D Traﬃc Management, Culberra Lake Self Storage, Glenelg Football Club, Somerset Hotel Motel, Klas Bilt, In2 Trophies Monogramming & Workwear, Collins Court Butchers, Troy Bell, Nick McBride, Willow Financial Services, Icon Signs, & DiGiorgio Family Wines.

So, where possible please consider our sponsors when you need anything, and then thank them for their support of our league.

The presentaons for Seniors and Juniors was once again a combined aﬀair with our netball partners held at the Millicent War Memorial Civic and Arts Centre. The day ran smoothly and we will connue to consult with clubs to seek ideas for any suggested improvements. Thank you to the Tantanoola Football / Netball Club for catering to the aendees superbly

Congratulaons to Mail Medal winner Robe's Henry Lawrie, Reserves Carthew Medal winner Glencoe's Jason Bates, Senior Colts Malseed Medal winner Mount Burr's Sam Hunt and Junior Colts Mansell Medal winner Hatherleigh's Will Dower and all other trophy winners.

Please remember, as clubs, to look aer your volunteers and as supporters, to assist and volunteer your me / skills wherever possible to make your Club more successful and to share the workload. It really does help your club commiees to know that they can rely on some jobs being handled – so well done to all volunteers that have assisted each club and in turn assisted the League in becoming stronger. The League and all clubs can become much beer with more 'Givers'' and less 'Takers''.

Thanks to all those people that have assisted me as President, especially all of the Senior Board Dennis Muhovics, Trevor Ling, Jo Michelmore, Jo Dean, Rochelle Monaghan & Naomi Mitchell along with the Junior Execuve headed up by Kevin Dinnison with assistance from Gary Wilson, Dylan Clough and Tamara Ploenges and Umpires Director Neil Webber All have worked well as a team and I hope we have delivered the needs and requirements of Clubs. The Board has been willing to share the heavy administrave workload and I especially thank my wife, Naomi Mitchell, in her role as League Secretary I urge all clubs that are not currently represented to

consider nominang a delegate to the Execuve. There is a requirement for someone with the following skill sets; liaising with the media with reports, IT skills, diplomacy, level headedness and to occasionally think outside of the square in looking at opportunies and soluons to the many issues that seem to raise their heads during every season. Thank you to friends and family that assisted in any way that you did. Thank you to all clubs that made me and all Board members welcome throughout the year. To those that provided any feedback on how the Board can be of beer assistance to Clubs, thank you.

As always, there will be secons of the Constuon / Bylaws, which need to be reviewed, and I urge all clubs to submit any suggested amendments to the Board for consideraon.

We appreciate the support of Murray South East Regional Director and Community Football Board director Sco Duncan, SANFL SE Football Operaons Co-ordinator Michael Mourbey, staﬀ at the Community Football Board, and SANFL South East Regional Game Development Oﬃcer Heath Sims. Our relaonship with the Glenelg Football Club connues to evolve and the opportunity for our young footballers at U18 & U16 levels has seen good numbers of footballers regularly travelling to be involved at the next level. This creates wonderful opportunies for them to connue their football journey

Our ﬁnal crowds have so far have been excellent and shows that the interest in the MSEFL is the equal of any compeon in this region. The mix of mulple clubs involved in football and netball ﬁnal contests has helped to increase crowd numbers and add to the atmosphere at the ground.

Our football and netball region connues to face a number of challenges to our stable environment. From my perspecve, our League and clubs need to ensure that we stay united and are abreast of these outside pressures to make sure that we connue to be in the best posion possible going forward. Change at any level presents us with opportunies and threats, so it is challenging mes ahead for all Clubs and the League. We must ensure that we connue to work together, connue to focus on our core objecves in our clubs and League which include Facilies, Junior Development, Volunteers, Financial Stability, Risk Management and Community Ties, strive for connuous improvement, and connue to meet our market place, oﬀer opportunies for our volunteers and youth in order for all of us to remain viable, sustainable and relevant to our communies well into the future. We sll ﬁnd ourselves in a situaon where we are sll faced with uncertainty and the very real prospect of change that will impact our clubs and League. We must make sure that our voices are heard and that any change ensures the long term sustainability of all our clubs and our League is maintained and enhanced.

Finally, a big thank you to all partners and family of the Board to allow them the me necessary for meeng their obligaons to our clubs at various mes throughout the year with meengs etc. Special thanks to my family, all have put up with a lot throughout the year and your support is much appreciated for all that I'm involved in.

Remember that not everyone can win on the field, but we must all be winners off the field.

There will be some great netball and football contests in every grade today where seven of our nine clubs are represented and I hope that all players and supporters have some special memories of 'that one day in September'.

Be kind to each other and I hope that you have a great Grand Final Day and a safe trip home.

Peter Mitchell

Mid South Eastern Football League President

Welcome to the Kongorong Football and Netball Club and the Mid South Eastern Football and Netball Leagues 2024 Grand Final Day.

Another year has flown by, and as they seem to go quicker every season, we find ourselves at yet another highly ancipated Grand Final. But before we look ahead to today's acon, I would like to take a moment to publicly acknowledge the outstanding efforts of the Port MacDonnell Football and Netball Clubs and their dedicated team of volunteers in hosng the 2023 Grand Final. Last year's season decider was blessed with a stunning day—perhaps a lile too warm for those out on the field—but perfect for the spectators. The event was well catered for, the crowd was respecul and well-behaved, and to top it off, we recorded the highest gate takings in our history

To all the teams compeng in this year's Grand Final—congratulaons! You've shown through your skill, determinaon, and teamwork that you are the most deserving teams to play in today's deciders. While only one team will walk away with the ulmate premiership prize, simply making it to the Grand Final is an achievement in itself. Enjoy every moment of it, and remember that this is a day you'll never forget.

A special congratulaons goes to all of our award winners from the season. A Grade Mail Medallist Henry Lawrie from Robe, Reserves Carthew Medal winner Jason Bates from Glencoe, U17.5 Malseed Medallist Sam Hunt from Mt Burr, and Junior Colts Mansell Medallist Will Dower from Hatherleigh—your outstanding performances throughout the season have earned you well-deserved recognion.

Thank you and well done to the Tantanoola Football and Netball Clubs for their superb catering at our awards presentaon. The quality of the food and service was second to none, and it's a testament to the value that all our clubs place on supporng each other and stepping up when the me comes.

Thank you as well to Nangwarry, Hatherleigh, and Kalangadoo for hosng our finals so far this season. With the removal of the neutral ground clause for A Grade matches, clubs now have certainty around hosng finals, regardless of who is playing. This change has allowed for beer planning and the finals so far have been managed superbly—well done to all involved.

To Amanda Sealey, Jacqui Doloughan and the enre Kongorong Football and Netball Clubs, thank you for your organisaon and coordinaon of todays season ﬁnale. I am 100% certain that the day will be a huge success for both your club and the league as a whole.

Our interleague journey this year was a mixed bag with the Seniors being outclassed by the newly formed LCFNL. It is quite disheartening that in my me as League Secretary, we have yet to secure the overall win at Senior level. I ﬁrmly believe we are not far behind the LCFNL or the KNTFL in terms of talent, but we need full player availability and commitment to take that next step. On the posive side, our underage teams showed tremendous promise, with 30-40 players compeng for spots on both the U15 and U17.5 sides. Thank

you to coaches Ma Fox and Chris McLay (U15) and Jed Telfer and Tye McManus (U17.5) for taking on these roles and doing an exceponal job. The U15s were outstanding, winning both games and securing the tle for the ﬁrst me in many years, while the U17.5s were outclassed in their ﬁrst match against the LCFNL and then narrowly lost to the KNTFL by just 7 points.

From the interleague games, a Team of the Carnival was selected, with the MSEFL making a strong impression, especially in the U15s, where we dominated selecons with 10 players named. Congratulaons to Kallan Price and Tighe Hurley (Glencoe), Ryan Lucas (Kongorong), Tayte Virtanen, Jaggar Geary, and Rhys Grigg (Nangwarry), as well as Je Lewis, Harry Carroll, Kane Gilbert, and Zane Lewis (Port MacDonnell) on their selecon. A special menon to Harry Carroll, who was named both overall Player of the Carnival and MSEFL Player of the Carnival.

In the U17.5 compeon, the MSEFL Player of the Carnival was the excing Elwood Geary from Nangwarry. Elwood, along with Charlie Bevan, Tyler Richardson, and Jackson Dean (Mt Burr), Kai Gilmore (Port MacDonnell), and Bradyn Hateley (Tantanoola), also earned welldeserved spots in the Team of the Carnival.

Following their performances, the U15s had the opportunity to represent Regional Glenelg at the SANFL U15 Intrastate Championships held during the July school holidays. This year, the MSEFL was well-represented by the following players: Tighe Hurley and Kallan Price (Glencoe), Ned Fitzgerald (Hatherleigh), Ryan Lucas (Kongorong), Declan Richardson (Mt Burr), Rhys Grigg and Tayte Virtanen (Nangwarry), and Je Lewis, Kane Gilbert, and Harry Carroll (Port MacDonnell).

Both the Limestone Coast Carnival and the Intrastate Championships provide vital pathways for our most talented players to pursue their football dreams and take the next step in their sporng careers.

To those selected in the Senior South East Zone Team for the SA Country Championships at Victor Harbor—Dylan Childs (Glencoe), Paddy Chay & Mitch Pulmer (Hatherleigh), Tye McManus (Kalangadoo), Sam Wallis (Mt Burr), and oﬃcials Clint Gallio, Sam Benne, Peter Mitchell, and Ma Ballantyne—well done on represenng our league. Despite not geng the results we hoped for in the minor rounds, ﬁnishing 5th with a win over Northern showed the character and resilience of our Zone.

A big thank you to the Junior League Execuve—Kevin "KD" Dinnison, Dylan Clough, Tug Wilson, and Tamara Ploenges. We've had a producve year, working well together with a shared focus on the broader success of the league. Your dedicaon and commitment have been invaluable, and it's been a pleasure working with you all.

To our Senior Board—Peter, Dennis, Trevor, Joanne, and Jo—thank you for your dedicaon to the league. It's been a privilege to work alongside such passionate individuals, all focused on the connued success of our clubs and the league as a whole. A special thanks to Rochelle Monaghan, our new Assistant Secretary, whose contribuons this year have been invaluable. Rochelle, your support and willingness to step in when needed has been a huge relief, and I look forward to working with

you next year

Our league's unique relaonship between football and netball is one of its great strengths. Thank you to Sara and the Netball Execuve for your commitment to fostering this relaonship. I'm proud of the example we've set for clubs to follow and the connued growth of this partnership at league level.

Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to Michael Mourbey and Sco Duncan for your me and ongoing support of football in our zone. Your experse and commitment to the South East are truly appreciated.

Looking ahead to 2025, it appears that our league's structure will remain unchanged—a decision welcomed by many across the South East. While we may face challenges and changes in the future, for now, we are conﬁdent that our League is strong, united, and focused on connuing to build on the tradions and successes we've established over many years.

To my close and extended family and friends, I cannot begin to express just how grateful I am for your unwavering support, endless paence, and the advice—solicited or not—that you so generously oﬀer. You have all been my constant source of strength, and Dad and I wouldn't be able to do what we do without each and every one of you by our side. Your help behind the scenes, whether it's lending a hand or simply being there, makes all the diﬀerence. I'm incredibly proud of the caring, thoughul, and occasionally outspoken individuals you've grown into, and I feel truly blessed to call you my family

As we watch and parcipate in today's matches, please be mindful and respecul of those around us. Be assured that all parcipants are trying their very best to assist their team to win and the negave and unhelpful commentary from the sidelines will do lile in achieving the objecve. I am also yet to see an umpire change his decision because of the advice being oﬀered from the boundary line. Please remember that umpires are doing a job so that we can play our great game, no umpires – no game.

And to all the players, parcipang in a grand ﬁnal is not just another game—it's the culminaon of an incredible journey, a memory that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Regardless of the outcome, win or lose, this experience is something to cherish. You've earned the right to be here, and that alone is an achievement worth celebrang. So, play with heart, play with passion, and make the most of this unique atmosphere that has been created just for you. This is your moment, and we eagerly look forward to watching you give it your all on this special day, creang memories that will last a lifeme.

JUNIOR PRESIDENT’S REPORT

The Mid South Eastern Junior Football League has again had a very successful season with the highlight being the Under 15 Interleague side defeang both the LCFNL and KNTFL to win the shield for the ﬁrst me in many years.

Our local compeon started with both the Kalangadoo U17.5 and Mt Burr U14 sides struggling for numbers to field their sides. For Kalangadoo, their numbers remained small for the enre season and all teams they played against helped and along with players from the bye team each week, ensured that a official game for points could be played. All clubs are to be congratulated in their efforts to support Kalangadoo. Mt Burr also started the season requiring assistance from other clubs to help them field an U14 side, but as the season progressed the Burr built their numbers up to require lile or no help which is a real credit to them.

The Interleague teams were superbly coached by Ma Fox and Chris McLay in U15's and Jed Telfer and Tye McManus in the U17.5. The U17.5 were easily beaten by a very well skilled LCFNL side who were simply too good. The second match against the KNTFL was very compeve with our side narrowly beaten. The U15's scored two very good wins against the LCFNL and the KNTFL to secure the U15 shield. Well done to Ma Fox and Chris McLay and their team on an outstanding carnival. Also thank you to the clubs that hosted our training nights and all players who made the interleague squads.

Another highlight of the year was the well aended MSEFL Junior Medal Count. Congratulaons to Will Dower (Hatherleigh) and Sam Hunt (Mt Burr) on their MSEFL Best & Fairest Awards in the U14 & U17.5 compeons. Also congratulaons to Ma Fox for his Junior Football League Coach of the Year Award for the second year, a well deserved and popular win. A diﬃcult decision with the league being blessed with having many ﬁne coaches at Junior level.

A big thank you to all volunteers who helped at interleague matches and all local club games during the season. Your eﬀorts as trainers, goal umpires, mekeepers, runners, waterboys and team managers is greatly appreciated by all clubs and the League. To all parents, family and friends who made sure players turned out at local club and interleague training your support is invaluable.

Thanks to the Junior Execuves, Dylan Clough, Tamara Ploenges, Tug Wilson and Naomi Mitchell, who worked very well together throughout the season and all club Junior Delegates. Thanks to Dylan for organising the Junior Interleague coaches for 2024. Finally a special menon to Naomi Mitchell for all her hard work behind the scenes for both our won compeon and interleague sides which takes countless hours. Your eﬀorts are greatly appreciated.

Good luck to all Junior sides in today's Grand Finals and lets see two evenly contested matches.

umpire director’s REPORT

Welcome, everyone, to the 2024 Mid South Eastern Football League Grand Final!

I am sure Amanda and her hard working group of volunteers have worked relessly to have the Kongorong football oval and surrounds in p top condion in readiness for a bumper day of football and netball.

This season, once again, we had to rely on the support of all clubs to provide umpires, as our panel connues to face challenges with numbers. Those who stepped up to umpire for their respecve clubs should be incredibly proud - not just for helping out, but for the professionalism and commitment they brought to what is a demanding role. Many have shown tremendous improvement over the season, and I truly hope you will all return in 2025. I also encourage you to talk to your clubmates about geng involved in umpiring next season.

With our current shortage of umpires, we urgently need more people to step forward. Without a stronger panel, the quality of football in our league across all grades will be aﬀected. We've all agreed to maintain our league's identy, which I fully support, but we cannot ignore the issue of dwindling umpire numbers. This is a serious challenge for our league in the coming years, and we must address it together 174 Jubilee Highway, Mount Gambier

Congratulaons to those umpires selected todayyou've earnt your spot through hard work and excellent performances. For those who missed out, please know that these decisions were incredibly diﬃcult.

FEATHERS WILL FLY IN FIGHT FOR FLAG

By J.L. “FRED” SMITH

WITH the grand ﬁnals of the Mid South East Football League (MSEFL) geng underway today, the eyes of the league hierarchy will anxiously be looking southwards to see if Mother Nature sends heavy showers onto the Kongorong Oval.

This grand ﬁnal is worthy of a $30,000 gate and our league will be banking on big numbers from the KNT and Limestone Coast leagues coming to us today as they had their grand ﬁnals a week ago.

West Gambier went top with half of the winning team either coming from the Mid SE or improving their footy in the Mid SE. The Roos had three players each from Kalangadoo and Port MacDonnell, two from Tantanoola and one from Hatherleigh

The Kongorong Oval is usually a very good playing surface and there are ample undercover viewing areas alongside the clubrooms and changerooms.

The odds are stacked heavily in Hatherleigh's favour.

The Eagles were comprehensive victors over the Roosters in the second semi-ﬁnal, won both their minor games against Robe, have a nearly full list available to play, there is a spread of scoring opons, the side is fresh and ﬁt and it has the best on-ball division and defence in the compeon.

It just remains to be seen if a place will be found in the 22 for ex-Tantanoola skipper and Millicent coach Lyndon (Winnie) Smith who has been baling injury

I am inclined to think that Smith will be recalled given his versality, talent and experience.

There remains an opmisc mood at the seaside but the challenges should not be underesmated.

Like their opponents, the Roosters have some selecon dilemmas of their own.

Should Jed Jarre be recalled aer sing out the preliminary ﬁnal on account of suspension?

Jarre had received his third yellow card in 2024 in the second semi and that triggered an automac one match penalty

How do you cope with two of your best players being below 100% ﬁtness?

Should you keep Zac Deane on the last line of defence for the full 120 minutes and play coach Nathan Brown in a permanent forward pocket for a similar period?

As the team prepares for its third tough game in as many weeks, do you have light or moderate training runs this week or watch movaonal ﬁlms indoors while eang bean sprouts and drinking Coke Zero?

This all sounds like a gloomy picture for Robe supporters but there are plenty of signs that today's match will be an absolute crackerjack contest.

To be quite sure, the seasiders were terriﬁc in defeang reigning premiers Kalangadoo on their home ground the preliminary ﬁnal last Saturday

Mail Medallist Henry Lawrie, the Duons and Sam Bates (ﬁve goals) were unstoppable.

plan for Hatherleigh coach Tom Hutchesson.

First quarter goals are essenal in any grand ﬁnal and the Eagles should go on the aack from the opening bounce.

Sam Waring must be used in the ruck with Darcy Bateman in aack.

The half forward line must be kept free for him with perhaps only Louis Brown and Bradley Mitchell used as crumbing forwards.

The two other regular Hatherleigh forwards must therefore be played up the ground.

Hutchesson has to realise that Brown has well drilled his team to have mulple players at the fall of the ball and on the edge of the packs.

Does he aempt to thwart the eﬀecve Robe running game if the Roosters get the use of a three-goal breeze in the ﬁrst term?

There is a simple soluon and that is to implement Plan B. As with any major round encounter, the mind games could have an impact on proceedings.

Neither side has ever defended a premiership but Hatherleigh has won grand ﬁnals on this ground in 2005 and 2013.

Oﬃcial records from this era are not online but I esmate only two players from the 2013 A Grade grand ﬁnal will grace the playing arena today.

According to my non-oﬃcial records, Hatherleigh had Brad Wight and Gerard McGrath on the oval 11 years ago.

The seasiders will be looking for a fair dose of luck in the 2024 season decider as there was none to be had for them in the second semi-ﬁnal loss.

The condions suited Hatherleigh and the match was played on their home ground.

Hatherleigh should go fully defensive, stack the back lines with number one ruckman Bateman and others and push the ball into the wide, deep and dead pockets.

There are simply too many “ifs” about the chances of the Roosters.

A Robe victory cannot be ruled out but Hatherleigh's fast, running game, ght defence and spread of goal kickers will earn the club its sixth ﬂag.

v Junior Colts Senior Colts Reserves

CAN Robe complete the perfect season?

This queson will be answered today when Robe and Hatherleigh face oﬀ in the Reserves Grand Final at Kongorong

Robe and Hatherleigh have been the standout teams of the 2024 season, with Robe ﬁnishing as undefeated minor premiers. In their previous meengs, Robe has had the edge, winning by 22 points in Round 9, 54 points in Round 17, and securing a 42-point victory in the second semi-ﬁnal to advance to today's decider

In that semi-ﬁnal, the contest was ght unl halime, with Robe holding a narrow 3point lead. But aer the break, Robe shied into another gear, holding Hatherleigh scoreless in the third quarter and pulling away to a comfortable win

This season, Robe has finally shrugged off the injury woes that have plagued them in previous years, and both their senior and reserves teams have benefited from a fullstrength lineup

Both sides possess the forward ﬁrepower to post a winning score. Hatherleigh's Tom Bell ﬁnished as the League Reserves leading goal kicker with 65 goals, closely followed by teammate Tim Merre with 52

On the other side, Robe's Jaryd Dawson has been proliﬁc, kicking 42 goals in just 11 games. Aer missing me since Round 14, Dawson showed no signs of rust in their last oung, slong 7 goals

The strength of both teams lies in their evenness across the ground. Robe's midﬁeld, led by Tom Miller, Bailey Walker, and Flynn Peel, will be key to generang scoring opportunies.

Defensively, the return of Jimmy Wasson has been a boost, with his strong rebound from centre-half-back seng up numerous forward entries in their recent match against Hatherleigh

For Hatherleigh to reverse their fortunes, they will need a complete team eﬀort. While Robe has managed to restrict Bell and Merre to no more than two goals each in their three encounters this season, Hatherleigh will need other contributors, such as Bailey Walker, Jimmy Telford, and Jack Altschwager, to step up and add scoreboard pressure

Both teams are at full strength, with no qualiﬁcaon issues given both senior sides are also compeng, allowing for an excing contest

While Robe is the obvious favourite, we've seen undefeated teams falter at the ﬁnal hurdle before, so nothing is guaranteed. One thing is certain though – we're in for a high-quality game leading into the main event

BOTH Glencoe and Nangwarry arrive at today's decider aer toppling the previously undefeated minor premiers, Mt Burr. With each team claiming a win over the other during the minor rounds, today's contest promises to be an evenly matched aﬀair

Glencoe's lineup features several standout players, with Digby Richards-Fennell driving their midfield. Max Whitehead adds versality, rotang between on-ball and the wing, while Tighe Hurley anchors the defence at centre-half-back. Lachlan Brierley is another key player, making an impact across the wing, on-ball, and forward lines. Jed Sinkunas will use his pace on the wing to deliver plenty of forward 50 entries, giving forwards Brodie Pfitzner and Daniel Ferguson every chance to hit the scoreboard. Sam Haase, with his natural ability to read the play and capitalise on ground-level opportunies, poses a significant threat to Nangwarry's defence. Young Hamish Gordon was outstanding in the second semi-final, providing crucial rebound across the backline in their victory over Mt Burr

Nangwarry's forward line is spearheaded by Elwood Geary, a strong marking target at centre-half-forward. His bale with Glencoe's Tighe Hurley will be a game-defining contest. In the midfield, Tayte Virtanen will be essenal, with Archer Virtanen offering addional strength and versality across both ends of the ground. Jaggar Geary, the youngest player on Nangwarry's list, has impressed by holding down key defensive posions, while Rhys Grigg and versale big man Toby Grigg will contribute across the ground. Nangwarry's main goal kickers, Calais Borman and Bo Sampson, will be key in their forward thrusts, while Harry Hicks adds speed and drive from half-back.

In their most recent encounter in Round 16, Glencoe overcame Nangwarry by 22 points in a hard-fought contest, with both teams appearing at full strength. This match provided a glimpse into the evenness between the two sides, both of which have shown consistent form throughout the season.

A key factor for both Glencoe and Nangwarry this year has been the integraon of players into their respecve A Grade teams, allowing these younger talents to gain valuable experience at a higher level. This exposure has not only boosted their development but also given them a taste of the intensity and skill required at senior level, which they'll undoubtedly carry into today's decider. Picking a winner in this evenly matched contest is a tough call. Weather condions could play a significant role, as Nangwarry took control of their semi-final by ulising a strong wind advantage early on and seng up their win from the get go. Both teams are coming off impressive team victories, making this a thrilling bale to determine the 2024 Senior Colt Premiership.

IN today's opening match, the young Hatherleigh Eagles will take on an improving Port MacDonnell Demons in what promises to be a thrilling contest. Port MacDonnell are no strangers to this stage, having ﬁnished as runners-up in 2023. They know the intensity of ﬁnals football and what it takes to claim the coveted AJ Medhurst Trophy.

Both clubs boast strong playing numbers, which has been a hallmark of their junior programs. This season, both teams have regularly listed 23-26 players each week, a testament to their depth and talent. While having such a large squad is a posive, it can also present a challenge in managing rotaons over the 4 x 12-minute quarters. Fortunately, both teams are guided by excellent coaches in Sean McGrath for Hatherleigh and Ma Fox for Port MacDonnell. Both will undoubtedly have a strategy in place to eﬀecvely manage player rotaons.

Heading into today's game, the key queson is, how will Port MacDonnell restrict the inﬂuence of 2024 Mansell Medallist, Will Dower? Dower's ability to win contested possessions, ﬁnd space, and either score or set up teammates has been a hallmark of his standout season. Alongside him, teammates Patrick McGrath, Reef Chambers, Paddy Fitzgerald, and Tom Atkinson all possess the skills to connually deliver the ball to their forward targets. Port MacDonnell's defence will need to be at its best to withstand the pressure.

Coach Ma Fox faces a taccal dilemma. Should he priorise liming Hatherleigh's scoring opportunies by placing his key players in defence, or should he play an aggressive, aacking style of football? With the ﬁnal outcome dependent on pung a score on the board, it's likely Fox will sck to his brand of aacking footy. He'll rely on players like Taj Manning, Zachary Howard, Hudson Gray, Gracie Carroll, Tyler Neale, and Tyron Howard to not only restrict Hatherleigh's swi ball movement but also rebound quickly and create scoring opportunies.

In their most recent encounter just a few weeks ago, Hatherleigh got oﬀ to a lightningfast start, kicking 4.2 to Port MacDonnell's 0.0 in the ﬁrst quarter. If not for this early lapse, the game would have been much closer, as Port MacDonnell matched Hatherleigh in the following three quarters, scoring 3.0 to Hatherleigh's 4.4.

Hatherleigh's depth and numbers will put Port MacDonnell to the test, forcing them to run hard all day. However, if Port MacDonnell can dictate the tempo and get Hatherleigh chasing, we could see a very diﬀerent outcome. Either way, the stage is set for a fantasc opening game to kick oﬀ the Mid South Eastern Football League's Grand Final day

2024 MINOR ROUND LADDER

GRAND FINAL match PREVIEWS

13 & UNDER

Hatherleigh v Kalangadoo

Hatherleigh and Kalangadoo go head to head in the MSENA 13 & Under Grand Final. Kalangadoo's Ebony Reeves and Malda Peacock are able to shoot with accuracy and Hatherleigh's Chloe David and Paige Walters will need to work overme to shut down any shoong opportunies. Eagles Alirah Bowman and Arabella Hassell are able to feed into their goalies, Mollie O'Connor and Livvi Faulkner, with ease, however they will be pressured from outside the circle by Zara Cole and Emily Simon. The hands over pressure of Magpies Te Kani Clarke and Milla Lennon will force errors in Hatherleigh's aack line & worked back down the court to their goalies, however the Eagles will work overme to regain possession of the ball. Both teams have fought hard to make it to the big dance and aer a well-matched game the Eagles will come away as Premiers.

15 & UNDER

Kalangadoo v Port MacDonnell

Kalangadoo and Port MacDonnell will bale it out in the 15 & Under Grand Final at Kongorong this weekend. Kalangadoo's strong goalie combinaon of Kiersten Cole and Lucy Egan are both accurate and work well together Demons' defenders Layla McPherson and Chelsea Fulham will use their strength over the ball to put the pressure on for Kalangadoo's goalies and combine well with Lillian Pengill to work the ball back down the court. Down the other end of the court Molly Peacock and Zoe Wurst from Kalangadoo will work hard in the defensive end creang lots of turnovers, with Ella Cooper backing them up around the circle. Port MacDonnell's Isla Fulham will need to work overme to curb the inﬂuence of Ava Prosperi-Porta through the midcourt. The Demons will ﬁght hard to come away with the win this weekend, however the Pies won't go down easily.

17 & UNDER

Mount Burr v Hatherleigh

The 17 & Under Grand Final sees Mount Burr and Hatherleigh meet for the ﬁrst me in the ﬁnals series. Mount Burr's strong defensive line up of Macy Burns, Tilly Gamble and Sara Smith will work relessly to create turnovers and intercepts for Mount Burr, sending the ball down to Ashlee Dean and Sarah Sigston in the goal circle. Hatherleigh's goalies Chloe Bellinger and Kalli Nele are determined, calm and controlled in

the goal circle and work well under pressure. Down the other end of the court Eagles Niah Faulkner, Hannah Bellinger and Bella Gysbers will put the pressure on Mount Burr's aack line, forcing errors and creang turnovers for their team. Hatherleigh's Deni Brown and Mount Burr's Abbey Falng will bale it out down the court, working hard for their respecve teams. Mount Burr's strong ouit will come away with the win when the ﬁnal whistle blows, but not without a bale from Hatherleigh.

B RESERVE

Port MacDonnell v Hatherleigh

Port MacDonnell and Hatherleigh will bale it out to go home as the B Reserve Premiers. Hatherleigh goalies Melita Thwaites and Sylvie Barlow are both able to shoot throughout the circle and are a focal point in their team, however they will be well defended by Port MacDonnell's Bridie McPherson and Jenni Taylor. Eagles Ellen Clarke and Ella Major use their height and ability to read the ball to get hands to balls and create turnovers, working the ball back down the court to their goalies. Port MacDonnell's Paige Cawthrone and Hatherleigh's Keely Jones will have a ght tussle down the court, both driving hard through the centre for their teams. Demons Ainsley Mann and Amber Moulden move well in the circle and shoot with accuracy, being fed well from outside the circle by Deanne Spencer Hatherleigh will be ﬁghng to secure their tle as back-to-back B Reserve Premiers, however the undefeated Demons will likely come away with the win.

B GRADE

Kalangadoo v Hatherleigh

Kalangadoo meet Hatherleigh in the B grade grand final. The Pies came out on top in the second semi by 2 goals and the Eagles will be looking to reverse that result. Marnie Jolly at GK for the Eagles and Gina Gogel at GS for the Pies had a great tussle the last me these sides met and who finishes on top in this duel will have a big part of the game's outcome. Hatherleigh's Ali McClelland and Kalangadoo's Jamie Ryan are 2 tough competors with neither giving an inch through the mid court and these 2 will have a significant impact on the game. Hatherleigh GS Olivia Slaery works hard in the circle and with Eliza Burton they form a formidable combinaon in goals, the Magpie defenders Emma Mules & Emily Mulraney will need to be on top of their

game to limit opportunies. The team that seles ﬁrst will gain the win.

A RESERVE

Kalangadoo v Port MacDonnell

Port Mac have come from 3rd winning convincingly in the first semi and a gutsy win against Hatherleigh in the preliminary. Kalangadoo's strong defensive line up of Sam Crute, Shanae Neale and Reanna Weatherall are a formidable force, one that is hard for any team to get through. However, Port MacDonnell's Kelli von Stanke, Brooke Williams and Narelle Lewis combine well together, with von Stanke and Williams shoong with accuracy, and being supported and fed well by Lewis from outside the circle. Kalangadoo's motherdaughter duo of Melissa and Shayden Russell are strong goalies who work hard and fight for every ball, converng whenever possible. Port MacDonnell have strength in their defensive circle, with defenders Shannon Scheidl and Lara Wilson fighng hard to force errors and create intercepts for the Demons. If past games are anything to go by, the Magpies will finish the day with the flag, however Port MacDonnell will make them earn every goal.

A GRADE Glencoe v Kalangadoo

Kalangadoo came out on top in a hardfought game advancing to the Grand Final and a rematch with Glencoe. Jenna Paproth and Chantelle Cocks have been in great touch in the goals circle and Kalangadoo's defence of Lara Munro and Georgia Duncan will need to get on top early and limit their opportunies. Jayde Peacock and Donna Jaeschke always have a great tussle in the Mid Court and this week will be no excepon. Both are experienced ﬁnals campaigners and will ensure that the path into goals is a smooth one. Jane Auld at WA for the Pies is always cool under pressure of which Alice Tentye will apply plenty of. While on the other wing Ash Pﬁtzner and youngster Georgia Genle will bale hard for the full for quarters. There's a ton of experience in Kalangadoo's goal circle with Associaon Best & Fairest Ebony McDiarmid having a stellar season, Glencoe's Caitlyn Hentschke has her matched in height and the contest between the 2 will be crical in the outcome of the game. Sarah Edwards at GD for the Murphies was runner up to McDiarmid in the best & fairest and will ensure Abbey Duncan earns every shot. Glencoe have more depth across the court and will come out on top in what will be a great game of country netball.

president’s report

GLENCOE MURPHIES

Season 2024 has come and nearly gone, I wish the Senior Colts and A Grade Netball teams the best of luck in the Grand Final. A great achievement of dedicaon and commitment, enjoy the occasion.

I would like to thank all our sponsors for their valued support of our club and to Chris, Shane and all the staﬀ at Dycer Construcons who were our Major Sponsor this year, your connued support is very much appreciated.

The Seniors were led by new coach Reece Duncan, while the year may not have quite panned out like we had hoped. The injecon of new ideas and enthusiasm has been welcomed by the playing group. Some new opportunies given to players has seen them develop their game and reignited their spark. We have an excing crop of youth at the club beit playing Seniors already or coming through in the next year or two and I see this as my most important role to provide a club with a great culture and facilies that these kids want to be around. Congratulaons to our Captain Dylan Childs for winning the Most Valuable Player voted by his peers.

Ben Hentschke coached the Reserves for the second year and aer a disappoinng year ion 2023 players rallied behind Ben and played oﬀ in the ﬁrst semi. A great achievement from where we were. Thank you to Dane Paproth who helped Ben throughout the year, I look forward to seeing the reserves remain compeve adding depth to our senior list. Congratulaons to Jason Bates who took home the Carthew Medal, Jason had a great season seng up play and delivering with pin point precision to our forwards.

Will Maloney has dedicated a great amount of me to coaching the Senior Colt team. A job that was never going to be easy with an abundance of numbers. Senior Colts can be a diﬃcult job with

many distracons for you fellows with school, work and social commitments but by enlarge these kids have all stayed on task. The eﬀort had been fantasc, hopefully the reward will be too.

Mahew Haase coached the Junior Colts, a challenging task with the large cohort that went up aer last year. Fortunately, with a couple of great addions we were compeve in just about every game. We tended to have one quiet quarter where we couldn't hold the opposion but competed very well for the remaining three. We were not far out of the ﬁnals and with a few inclusions over summer I think we can get back there next year. Congratulaons to Hamish Gordon who won the leading goal kicker trophy Bo Manser and Dion Evans ran the U11's program and Auskick. These guys were new to their coaching roles but executed them very well. Most importantly the kids enjoyed themselves and developed skills along the way. The Under 11's compeon in its current format is great for the MSE allowing ﬂexibility and all clubs cooperate and share players to even the games which is great. Dion's Auskickers who travelled to Adelaide for the half me game had a ball and made great memories.

We connue to have a great relaonship with the Netball club, Ange and her commiee support us as we support them. A relaonship envied by other clubs.

To our countless volunteers, you support keeps our club funconing, whether it is Ben with his facilies, Sam running the canteen, our cooking teams, changeroom cleaners, Sunday morning oval cleaners, BBQ cookers you are all invaluable and are the reason we are a club where people enjoy coming too.

Donna and Jenny, thank you for your contribuons to our clubs with the organizaon and management of our Sponsorship program. A

job that involves me and I know you both have heavy schedules already, thank you.

To my commiee, thank you for supporng me in the President's role. Obviously, there is a lot that happens behind the scenes that many don't see nor appreciate. Thankyou parcularly to Anne as Secretary, Peter as Treasurer, Andrew as Past President and Craig as chief advisor. Jenny, Will, David, Ma, Jack, Zacc, Mahew you all have dedicated me and enthusiasm into the Commiee team, and its with this drive that connual improvements keep happening. Whilst not on the commiee, Sarah has been our chief Social Events coordinator along with Jack. The events have been great and well aended, thankyou Sarah and Jack.

I look forward to seeing you all in 2025.

Our first home game was round 2 and we hosted Kalangadoo under our superb lights for a night match The crowd numbers and atmosphere were akin to a minor final, and most importantly we retained the Bo Memorial Shield in a nailbing finish A band performing post-game was a welcome touch to round out a successful night Round 9 also saw us retain the Ian McInness Memorial Shield against Glencoe, and it's always great to see Kami McInnes smiling at the end of the game

For interleague representaon, Dylan Ridley, Sam and Josh Wallis represented the MSE along with Clint Gallio as coach of the senior squad Sam was selected for the SA Country Champs team, with Clint selected as assistant coach In the junior interleague Sam Hunt, Max Hunt, Tyler Richardson, Jackson Dean, and Charlie Bevan represented MSE in the U17 team, with Tyler, Jackson, and Charlie being selected for the U17 Team of the SE Zone Carnival Well done to all the lads for connually pushing to play that higher level of representave football

Congratulaons to all of this season's trophy winners at the league presentaons, including Dylan Ridley (A Grade R/Up B&F), Josh Wallis (Joint A Grade Best Backman), Sam Hunt (Senior Colts R/Up B&F and Player of the Year), and Cambell Hateley (Senior Colts Leading Goal Kicker) Also a massive congratulaons to Peter Guye Jnr on being bestowed with Life Membership to the league, thoroughly deserved

to Stacey Lowndes on her inaugural year as netball club president and we wish 17 and under netballers all the best in the grand ﬁnal

Taylor Allen and Brady Sharp headed up the lile tackers, and it was really pleasing to see so many young kids having fun with a footy

The Auskick program was really popular with 25 registraons, and numbers for the Under 11 matches were sll quite good with many of the older kids scking around to parcipate once the Auskick program was completed We look forward to having plenty of numbers for a formal Under 11s team next year Thanks to Taylor and Brady, also Sam and Nicole Croser, Shane and Simone Westerman and all the other parents that assisted, contributed and supported in any way to ensure the kids were safe and having fun

Colts

Coach Frazer Johnston took the reins again for his second year and was also supported by returning team manager Kim Gardiner Starng the season with 10 players it was looking a lile dire but numbers increased as the year went on to the point where we ended up having 16 registered players by the ﬁnal round The boys and girls baled hard each week, and it was really appreciated when other clubs lent us players, either from the opposion team or when their club had a bye With plenty of young ones only a year or two away from playing junior colts, numbers are looking good for the foreseeable future Thanks to Frazer, Kim and all the parents that assisted these guys and the team in any way during the season

Senior Colts

Senior Colts and was supported by new team manager 'Slug' Hunt Some handy new players have come out to the club this year and they've seled in well The boys had a cracking season ﬁnishing minor premiers and did the club immensely proud by making the Preliminary Final, but unfortunately their ﬁnals campaign wasn't desned to go any further Many of our senior colts have garnered a lot of A Grade experience this year, so those boys moving on to senior football next year will be well equipped to start matching it early Thanks to Darren, 'Slug' and all the parents that assisted these guys and the team in any way during the season

Reserves

Rob Francis' third year at the helm of the Ressies, with Henry Lowndes again supporng as team manager, has seen nearly every kind of result you can get, except a ﬁnals berth The lads have shown improvement year-on-year but progress stalled a lile this year which saw the boys fall short of their potenal and expectaons With the depth across the senior squad potenally improving next year, it can hopefully spur on the Reserves to push for a ﬁnals spot next year Thanks to Rob Henry Ken Clark (goal umpire), Wayne Busbridge (me keeper) and all other volunteers that helped in any way throughout the season

A Grade

The return of Clint Gallio to the club was the chaer for the enre off-season, and the end result was definitely a case of 'missed it by that much ' Three losses with a combined total of around 30 points could have seen us sing in the top two if they were wins It was genuinely disheartening to miss out on finals by a few percentage points, but this could be the fuel for the fire for Clint and the boys next year With a concerted effort to build on the squad we have, 2025 will be the season to watch out for the Burr Thanks to Doc Gregory and Aaron Gregory who shared the team manager's role this year, and to Bill Chapman and Michael Wallis who shared the me keeper dues most weeks A big thank you to anyone else that assisted the team throughout the season

Other Notable Match Day Menons

Supplying club central umpires each week is unfortunately a reality we will have to accept as a club and league moving forward As such, I'd like to thank those that stepped up when asked, including George Wimshurst (junior colts), Jack Francis (junior colts), Rob Francis (junior colts), David Wallis (senior colts and reserves), Dale Bowering (senior colts and reserves), Tim Lile (senior colts), and Chris Sco (trial match) The need for club umpires will connue next year, and I hope we can get a couple extra new faces just to help lighten the load, it's something that just has to be done

The introducon of rosters for all grades to fill mulple roles on match day ran quite smoothly By sharing the load amongst players, parents, and supporters, we ensured that every role was filled each week The saying "many hands make light work" truly came to life, and we're keen to refine this system even further next year If you filled a spot on a roster during the season, thank you If you filled a spot mulple mes, an especially hearelt thank you, we'll try to ensure a few more new faces are included next year to spread the load

Welcome to Grand Final day 2024 as yet another season comes to an end. Firstly to all teams both Football and Netball best of luck in your pursuit of the ulmate glory a premiership to celebrate your hard work and sacriﬁces throughout the year

I would like to thank all of our loyal sponsors both new and ongoing for your support throughout season 2024. Sponsors are essenal to allow clubs to survive and to connue to prosper. I encourage all of our supporters to support our sponsors at every opportunity to give back to those who give to us.

2024 was a season like no other that we have experienced. We had high expectaons of further progression in our development as a playing group and fronted some prey tough games early on and we accepted the challenge and showed plenty of promise. We were then thrown a big curve ball which rocked the playing group and the greater club to the core and one that we hope no others get to experience. The resilience of the players shone through and with everyone throwing their support behind each other we moved forward. This highlighted the programs that Celeste and Taz have put in place and that have been embraced by all, this really helped many get through this rough period. Pods you won't be forgoen by this group mate, forever respected.

Craig Lock stepped in and ran an Auskick program this year and we thank you for taking on this role and giving the opportunity to start our future footballers footy careers. We look forward to seeing the parcipants progress their footy in the years to come.

Vesa and Jason looked aer our group of U11s, this enthusiasc bunch of kids played some prey good footy and really improved as the year progressed. We look forward to seeing this bunch move through the ranks in the years to come as they connue their footy careers with us providing the next generaon.

Marcus Thompson once again took on the role of Junior Colts coach. We had a number of new faces join us this year which gave plenty of expectaon for an improved season ahead. It took a few weeks for the team to start to gel, but as the year progressed they began to play some great footy and with a bit of luck could have easily been playing ﬁnals footy Plenty of posives to take out of this season so well

Aer a couple of years of trying to get Craig Hicks and Shane Grigg to come back out to the club and take on a junior coaching role they finally succumbed and took on the Senior Colts. With a group of extra numbers coming out to join our group from last year it looked very promising for the year ahead. This group definitely didn't disappoint and provided plenty of highlights throughout the year. At the me of wring they had progressed through to a preliminary final and hopefully are running out today trying to grab the ulmate prize and if they aren't they should be very proud of their efforts this season. 8 players from this team experienced A Grade football this year which garners well for the coming years and makes the struggles and perseverance of the last few years very worthwhile. We thank those who have stuck with us over the tough mes, I hope you get some rewards for your loyalty.

The Reserves were put into the hands of Donny to help improve on their efforts of last year and take the next step towards finals. Unfortunately due to a number of circumstances this wasn't to be case and we will need to put these aspiraons on the backburner unl 2025. The foundaons are definitely there for some connued progress. If we can build with a few numbers and commitment out on the track we can definitely take the necessary steps, so get behind Donny and let's show what we are capable of

Taz once again stepped into the Senior coaches role and as we would expect did a power of work over the summer months to build on our previous season and put us in the best posion to build into connued improvement in season 2024. Whilst we may not have climbed the ladder too far but there were deﬁnite posive steps taken in very trying circumstances and we connued to gain further respect from our opposion clubs. We showed plenty of signs throughout the year to show that we are slowly building towards some excing mes. There have been plenty of opportunies for our juniors to step up and show that they are capable of taking us forward. Taz has set the foundaons of which we are extremely grateful for, and he has now passed the baton over to George to connue our forward steps and connued build.

Our Trainers Aidan and Hannah have done an outstanding job for us throughout the year in keeping our players out on the track, thankyou both for your eﬀorts. We did however unfortunately suﬀer a few season ending injuries we hope you guys recover and are able to return stronger for season 2025.

We have had a great inﬂux of new players and supporters into our club this year and fortunately we have gained some quality people joining our great club. Hopefully you have enjoyed your year with us and like many before you have seen that we are a great club with plenty to oﬀer and we will see you with us for many years to come.

Off field we have as always had some great highlights and this year stepped up to a new level once again. This isn't possible without the me and effort of numerous people. I would like to thank everyone who assisted in anyway throughout the season, Bar Staff, Meals, Booth, BBQ, Canteen Gates, Raffles Scoreboard, Game day support and Funcon Coordinators. I would also like to acknowledge the support of the Netballers throughout the year once again you have shown your support of the club which is greatly appreciated as we connued to build the posive vibes throughout the year

To our hard working commiee we may have been around for a while but we connue to evolve and move forward with the mes and take on the challenges that connue to emerge. Another step forward and I look forward to your connued support as we connue to build our club and connue to show our resilience and perseverance.

On a personal note I would like to express my gratude for all the support I have received throughout the year, I was rocked to begin the year

The footy season came along at a perfect me to help get me through a very tough period and I'm extremely grateful to all who reached out and oﬀered support in anyway

Once again I thank our loyal supporters and sponsors both new and long term and hope that you connue your journey with us.

Catch you all in 2025 and thanks for your hospitality throughout season 2024.

Good luck to everyone playing today! Premierships are such a rare thing to achieve –requiring everything to go right plus a sprinkle of magic – we wish you all well.

A special congratulaons to our senior football sides who have both made it today, we have everything crossed for you. Retenon of our junior players as they move into senior football and some great recruitment has certainly provided some much-needed depth and we look forward to connuing our growth in the years to come.

Congratulaons to the MidSE Football League on another solid year of football. Not without its stress and puzzles we have all stuck together again and will watch with interest how the SANFL manages the situaon moving forward.

To our members, players, volunteers and sponsors thank you for a great year of football. Your commitment to the Robe Football Club and each other is the fabric of our family and why we connue to not only survive but strive.

We have enjoyed another dynamic year of infrastructure improvement within the club, compleng the erecon of our new booth and BBQ. This encourages our supporters to get out of their cars and come together around the big ﬁre, the hillside seng providing great viewing and an amphitheatre eﬀect across the ground.

Again, we owe our execuve and commiee members our thanks for their reless eﬀorts and volunteer hours. Special thanks to Jason Pet, Breanna Ferguson, Deb Sweetman, Roger Sweetman, Geoﬀ Prest, Jim Thring, Roly

Day, Antony Kokiousis, Jacob Nicholson and Jack Sneath. Thanks also to Adrian and Kylie Johns and the Junior Commiee for their commitment and passion. 2025 will see a signiﬁcant change in commiee as we say goodbye to two of our long-me members. Roger and Deb Sweetman are moving back to the city and they take with them a decade of knowledge and a CEO's crical thinking brain which will be sorely missed. We wish them well but know they will stay in touch and will take a lile piece of red and white with them. Outside of our immediate commiee we would also like to thank the team leaders in each area. Geoﬀ Prest for the bar, Jim Thring for Dads Army, Scoy Robo for the gate, Acon Fenton for the grounds and game day set up, Brad Nunan and Bernie Kufuss for the booth and Karla Hondow for the canteen and kitchen. Apart from stay in touch, we did not have to worry about anything in these areas and every single one of these volunteers put in hours and hours of their own me for the beerment of the club. Special thanks also to Fiona Boundy for her thousands of photos throughout the season – not just the great camera work but hours upon hours of eding and uploading me.

Thank you to our recruing team who have worked relessly through the year to improve the depth and commitment of our senior players. On a personal level I would also like to thank my training team – Ella Mackey and Anton Noles for doing such a great job. Tuesday and Thursday evenings plus all day Saturday as volunteers is a huge commitment, the players and myself would be lost without

you.

We would also like to congratulate Ash Wachtel in her ﬁrst year as President of the Robe Netball Club. It's a massive job and we thank her for her willingness to work with us as we connue to bring the two clubs closer together. To her commiee, coaches, leaders and players well done on your year and we look forward to our connual partnership in 2025.

Lastly, I'd like to thank all of those who I have leaned on over the last five years. It has been a roller coaster ride that kicked me in the arse in my first year with COVID and everything that came with it and ended with both senior sides in the Grand Final. I'd like to thank those of you who have broadened my football knowledge, challenged my thinking, put your hands up to help and lent me your shoulder to steady myself. I won't name every single one of you as the list would be too long but one I will single out is my husband Richard. He has listened and offered advice and encouragement without judgement for five years and I couldn't have done this job without him on my side.

There will be signiﬁcant change at the Robe Football Club in 2025 however we have used this past year to hand over and prepare for that change and we know that this next chapter will be even more successful than the last.

Congratulaons everyone on another successful season. Travel well.

Best regards and signing out.

250senior games

fiona jackman

hatherleigh netball club

A massive round of applause for Fiona (Fee) Jackman, who has reached the remarkable achievement of 250 senior games for Hatherleigh Netball Club this Saturday!

Fee has served her team and club in many ways over the years and will be playing in the B Reserve Grand Final against Port MacDonnell in the hope of achieving back-toback premiership glory

Fee began her senior netball journey in 1996, before taking a brief hiatus to focus on her family.

17 & Under: A hard fought game has gained us a spot in the GF. A determined effort from all girls saw us stand tall and repel a tenacious K’Doo team, our defensive efforts were outstanding and enabled us to keep the scoreboard cking over. Chloe and Kalli created space in the circle taking high percentage shots. Deni was ever reliable all over the court and didn’t waste a ball. Amber connues to step up and make good decisions on circle edge. Chloe G and Bella kept defensive pressure on the K’Doo aack line, while Niah and Hannah played hard clean circle D, giving us plenty of drive into aack. A fantasc team effort! Thanks to Luca and Sylvie for sing bench, Ange for scoring and once again the Hatherleigh faithful, we appreciate your support. Best players Chloe B and Kalli Nele.

B Reserve: The B Res girls had a nerve-wracking start to the game, as Kalangadoo came out strong with six quick goals. However, the girls began to sele in the second half of the first quarter, with Keely Jones and Nic Thomas working hard to secure key turnovers. By quarter me, Kalangadoo led by five goals. In the second quarter, Amy Haines found her rhythm, chasing down every loose ball and making every centre pass count. Melita Thwaites and the newly minted Sylvie Barlow worked phenomenally well together in the circle, and by halime, the scores were ed. The third quarter was a ght contest, with both teams trading goals, as Kalangadoo refused to back down. Fiona Jackman entered the game, keeping the momentum alive, but by the end of the quarter, the girls were down by one. Ellen Clarke and Ella Major were unstoppable in defence, connually geng the ball out of Kalangadoo’s end and into Nic’s hands, allowing her to feed it to Melita and Sylvie me aer me. In an exhilarang final few minutes, the girls surged ahead and finished with a three-goal victory. Maddie Copping and Demi Jones were the biggest team players, and their contribuon to the team didn’t go unnoced. Shout out to Grace Chay and Sara Gray for the sideline support, and a big thank you to our PC Linda and scorer Zoe! An incredible effort by everyone - off to the grand final we go!

B Grade: It was a high-stakes, do-ordie encounter with a spot in the grand final on the line. We came out firing and the early stages of the game saw our aacking duo, Liv and Ellie, in fine form. Ellie’s swi movement into the goal circle and Liv’s strong hold and accurate shoong helped us to establish an early lead. This was supported by the defensive efforts of Marni and George as well as the down the court pressure from Ali, Kaz and Sarah to

give us more of the ball. Despite this strong start, Tantanoola was relentless, throwing everything they had at us. We knew it was going to be a challenge with Eliza and Maddie sidelined, but we certainly made it difficult for ourselves too. We know that anything can happen in finals netball and that was certainly the case. There was no queson of each players high work rate and maybe it was the nerves and stress - it was certainly a high pressure game - we just didn’t seem to have our A game on display. There were some passages of absolute brilliance where the movement from the centre circle into the goal circle was like clock work, but there were also mes where we made it far too hard on ourselves and inadvertently gave Tant more opportunies to keep them in the game. Defensively, Marni’s long reach again proved crucial, while at the other end Liv’s strength and posioning was instrumental. Earning both a spot on the best players list. Special thanks to Keely, who stepped up late in the game due to injury, and best wishes to Eliza and Maddie for a speedy recovery. We look forward to having you both back on the court this week. Thanks also to Fi and Ellen for sing bench. The support from the B Res team has been invaluable this year. Huge thanks as always to Nat, as PC, for keeping player sugar levels up and managing the sideline first aid - keeping players limber - and Raels as our ever reliable scorer. Let’s have a thorough recovery and a strong training session on Thursday to refine our basics. We’ve earned our place in the grand final. Let’s seize the grand final opportunity with the determinaon and spirit that has defined our season. We’ve got this!

A Reserve: We headed into the weekend’s game with a posive mindset, knowing that we’d overcome so many challenges this season. Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way, and we went down 36 to 32 against Port Mac. However, I couldn’t be prouder of how far we've come and how everyone played. With injuries, sickness, and players away at different mes this year, the team has constantly adapted and stepped up, even when playing out of posion. Millie Smith and Manny Redman worked relessly in the defensive end, pung heaps of pressure on their opponents and pulling off some crucial intercepts. Rosie Nele and Lucy Corman drove hard onto the circle, while Deni Brown ran out a really tough game in the centre, feeding the ball beaufully to our goalies. The goalies did an excellent job with their ming, holding, and leading at the right moments, and they were very accurate with their shots. Everyone gave 100% and le it all on the court. A huge well done to everyone for their effort and heart.
