THE PENSHURST RSL PANTHERS

JUNIOR AFL CLUB Registrations have been strong

again with all players now

commencing training in anticipation

of the first round which this year is

on Sunday 19 April. All coaching and

managing positions are now filled

with a great team of volunteers on

board for the season. Also pleasing

has been the ability obtain 4

experienced St. George Dragons AFL

senior players to coach the under

15s and under 17s this year. The

boys really appreciate the effort

they put in and have hit the ground

running in their preparations. The

club has a strong and growing

relationship with St. George and this

further strengthens that

relationship.

Facilities are continuing to be

upgraded with terracing in front of

the clubhouse to be completed

soon and improved lighting of the

Olds Park main oval slated for

completion before the end of

season.

The number of new Auskickers has

been huge this year and they are

having a great time learning skills

and making new friendships. On the

evening of Thursday 26th March

they had the chance to meet a few

swans players at Olds Park and

enjoy a BBQ to further welcome

them to the club.

We still have room for new players

across most age groups so if you

know someone interested in a great

game please refer them across. The

website has all the contact details.

As always thanks for your support

and see you round the grounds!
