Head coach Ross Greer summed it all up with his speech at the end of year function complimenting the players for their dedication and team work. The club is enjoying a period of growth and solidarity and if every one listens and work together as they have done this season 2003/2004 can only be better. (Well done to our coaches Ross , Robbie and Joe)
It was heartening to see so many life members enjoying themselves at the wind up and getting involved with presentations and speeches it only serves to strengthen our club with their presence and involvement.
Club President John Beattie made a fine speech on the future of the club and the achievements this season with 2nd grade and Colts winning the flag. Our 4th grade players were congratulated on their achievement of minor premiers and our 1st grade who finished just out of the top six by .80 . Fremantle finished equal fifth in the club championship. Fantastic result.
John touched on the work carried out during the season that the committee had done in running the club ,together with our invaluable helpers in the kitchen and of course our bar person Alby who always has a smile on his face and a raffle book in his hand.
A sad note with passing of Mr Bob Ballintine during the season a stalwart of the club and a man who our pavilion is named after , our thoughts are with his family.
