The night was made even better when the editor fought his way through to the final of the “Playstation Competition” to also win in a penalty shootout and take home the coveted first prize. Anyone that wants a rematch, the sparkling new PS2 console is taking pride of place at my house and is primed to go! A big thankyou to Eddy Fong and Ubisoft who donated the PS2 Console/Game as first prize and for also organising the competition on the night. Thankyou to Dill and Guy who put in a tremendous effort to organise the night and special thanks to Steve Knight and Ed Neill who made generous donations towards the bar. I’d also like to thank Mike Waller for all his efforts on the night, to be last man standing and also back up early the next morning for BBQ duties.

06/04/05 -   As the season has already kicked off and we are fast approaching the first home game of the season we need to start organising what we're doing on the social/fundraising side. Firstly, we need to organise the BBQ and Raffle for this weekend's game as well as start to plan what we want to do throughout the season including EOY Trip. I suggest we meet after training tomorrow night (Thu 7/4) and elect a social committee as a start. After the success of the Sydney Swans/Rose Bay outing last year I suggest re-electing Tim Sheath and Sutho to the committee (Maybe we'll actual go this year!). Beer and Pizza will also be on the menu

30/03/05 -   I know it’s hard to believe but surely a man of such knowledge, wisdom, intellect, speed, athleticism, agility, soccer prowess and not to mention hairline, should be much older than his years indicate. But alas it’s true; Ash “GrimaldiMathieson is only turning “30”. Come help him celebrate his 30th birthday at the Wharf Bar, Manly this Saturday night at around 7:30pm and hear Ash talk about his favourite subject, himself.

30/03/05 -   Better late than never… Photos from the 2001 end of year trip to Forster/Tuncurry.

29/03/05 -   A great day had by all at Royal Randwick on AJC Derby Day. Apart from a bit of wet weather there was an abundance of scenery and amber fluid making for a great day. Congratulations to JD and his mates. A great start to the day winning 5 big ones on the first race by backing the first 4. Unfortunately this little punter didn’t have a repeat performance of winning on the first 5 races like last year but still managed to take some hard earned off the bookies. A tip when punting with Rains and Johnno… Find out what they’re backing and get off it!

22/03/05 -   Two hard fought games against the Strikers on the weekend resulted in a solid 1-0 victory for Reserves and a controversial 2-2 draw for Firsts after some curious refereeing decisions. Read the match report for more details…

22/03/05 -   Congratulations to the Rainbird Clan!!! If you were wondering why Birdy was a bit bleary eyed on Sunday, it was for good reason. The Rainbird’s are proud parents of a baby girl, Natasha Rainbird, born around 1am Sunday morning, Size/Weight? (Can’t be too big if related to the Birdman)
