JUNIOR REPORT

Committee and Members Parkside F.C.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby submit a report on the operation and success of

the Under 16 team in Season 1993.

I would agree that at first look it may seem that we had a very ordinary year. But if we look closely at
the team it will show a very different picture. On our first training night we had only 7 boys on the
oval. By half way through the season we had 27 boys on our team list. That in itself is a very good
effort.

We then see that although having won only 2 games out of a possible 13 we only finished 2 games
out of the four and the last 6 games saw the boys run 3 of the top teams to very close scores
bringing praise not only from myself but also opposition coaches. And of course we all know how
they brilliantly won the last game by about 15 goals.

We had a very inexperienced side, 9 boys playing football for the first time and all of those buys
improved greatly as the season went on, one boy who only played 13 games has been invited and is
training with the Western Jets squad. So you can see why I believe we had a good year. These boys
are the club's future and I am certain at least 8 of these boys will play senior football. I would like
everybody to try and recruit at least one boy for next year because I am very confident that we will
have a good 1994 season.
