BCNA game against the Swannies

Yesterday I helped out at the club to prepare for the Breast Cancer Network breakfast/brunch.

I must admit I didn't know it was happening, but after pumping up 350 footballs, I knew we were on to something rather big.......

What was truly remarkable was the quiet achievement going on and around the club to support and foster this great initiative. The ladies and the staff nvolved who gave generously of their time, to make the preparations, getting tables decorated, gifts distributed, seat allocations, meeting sponsor needs and requirements......it was all happening behind the scenes and during the week when the Club is building up to the first game of the season!

Let no-one think that working at a Footy club is an idle proposition, the staff were looking at some long hours just to get this all up and happening.

But on reflection there is also a big positive for the club, not just for supporting this, but that with our round 6 game against the Swannies being telecast live on a Saturday night, it showcases both the BCNA to the general population and the Club who are supporting this venture.

Some really smart thinking by our management,utilising one of the few opportunities we have to display our wares on live TV.

For those who missed the news reports this evening it was refreshing to learn of some good coming from the football community, instead of the stories of the drug cheats invading our game.

Jack Trengove acquitted himself well on the clubs behalf, and hopefully the team will acquit themselves equally on the night in question....
