Their will be incentives put in place with those who help out with the fund-raising/sponsorship.
Senior 'B' or Presidents Grade??
This is a question that has haunted the club for three seasons now with the Presidents grade struggling for teams. We again competed in a presidents grade comp this year as teams from north Otago joined the comp. With our team finishing 2nd (again) by 1 point. And need players to commit to a "B" comp next season as again there may not be a presidents competition with only Pareora not struggling to field a team on game day this season and reports coming out of Harlies that this will be their last year

"friendly" games
We played against McKenzie last weekend and although we only had 12 of our current team we competed well in the 1st half with the score only 5-0 at half time..unfortunately despite our best efforts our fitness and lack of training showed through in the second half with the final score being 32-nil. big thanks to those players who showed up we all had a great time. to those who didn't........... well enuff said.
