COACH:
Murray Jamieson
RICKY TAWHAI
Wanted to give football a go after a season or two
at rugby league. Developed in skills and positional
sense as the season progressed. A committed team
member.
VAUGHAN DEGROEN
A very efficient tackler and defender both in
defense and in midfield. A dependable player.
REGAN MACDONALD
Natural “lefty” with developing skills as a winger.
Netted five times in his half-season before
holidaying overseas, where he attended a five-day
coaching clinic in Calgary (Canada).
ADAM DYSART
Striker who started the season in great form but had
a bad spell near the end. Good ball skills and positional
sense. Frequent scorer.
MARK KEARNEY
Enthusiastic player who shrunk from nobody. Set up
counter-attacks through the halves.
CHRIS JAMIESON
Expended a lot of energy in supporting his team. Had
started to develop positional sense as the season
came to a close. A trier.
CARL VICKERS
A good striking boot, but often ran out of puff.
Deadly when heading for goal, ball at foot!
CLINT RUSHBRIDGE
Throw-in and dribbling expert. A "thinker". Made a
valuable contribution to the team.
DAVID McBETH
The fireball of the team. Was into everything and
was the most effective player in the team. He was
responsible for most counterattacks after robbing the
opposition of the ball. Great mid-fielder.
REUBEN BARNES
A keen footballer. Defends well. Will get off his
death-bed to play a game!!!
PAUL MATTHEWS
A goalkeeper of natural ability, discovered late in the
season. Will develop into a keeper of high quality as he
progresses through the Grades.
