The squad numbers for the Maroons are now posted on the right hand side. For the whites, a note went out early on about requesting sizes and numbers. Those who have the numbers listed so far either requested them or a particular size or both.
Glenn P has been handed the No.1 shirt after being dobbed in as a goalie. It seems this job will be shared around the whites so when Glenn is out on the field the keeper of the day/half will need to let him use their shirt (I tried to get an extra but the order was too late).
The remaining shirt sizes available for the whites are as follows. Please get on here in the comment field and put in your request. First in, best dressed. All remaining shirts will be handed out. But if you are a little bloke or big bloke and don't want to carry around a sack or a figure hugging Mardi Gras vest then place your order now.
XL: 7, 16, 20.
L: 2, 17, 18, 19

Teams announced
Barring late injuries or unexpected withdrawals, the teams have been decided. They appear as The Whites or The Maroons on the right hand column.
It's important to make clear that no selections have been made based on performances or skill levels.
The original 15 from Helensburgh last season have stayed together in the Maroons. The selection of the five to join them was made purely on personal rather than playing grounds. A very short history lesson: As the Helensburgh side half emerged from Sunday morning soccer, four of the places have gone to people who pioneered that, before we started in competitive action. They all have strong friendship ties to the 15. The fifth player is a work colleague of one of the 15 and only playing at all because of their work relationship.
I think in a group of 40 there might be a grumble or two about your teammates or the makeup of teams. I'd hope they don't last long or aren't too loud. I think we should all be happy to be part of something new and see where it takes us this season. I would expect that we support each other all the way and, if the Whites go into the final game neeeding a 6-0 victory to make the finals, I'll go in goal!
Cheers

Training and trials
Training kicks off on Wednesday night and, for the next few weeks at least, we will be concentrating on full field game play. Later, as we get into the season and have our fitness up from playing on the weekend, we'll do more skills based and tactical small sided games training. The lessons from last week's three-quarter field run included -"bloody hell, there's so much running to do!" and "I haven't had to kick a ball that far in 20 years!". So be prepared for some warmups and then into game situations as we try to raise fitness and increase confidence in the space.
Also, the field is in good condition despite the rain. If it does rain heavily Wednesday we might cancel. Please check back at the breaking news section about 4.45pm where we'll let you know if it's off.
Trials: Going by the poll we have 20 out of 25 respondents avialable for the March 7 trials. I've told the other teams we will be there and am awaiting confirmation, which, of course, will be posted here when it comes.
Welcome: Glen Cahill, Glenn Paull and Grant Bywater signed up this week to take the tally up to 40 again.
Finally, some housekeeping: Keys have been found on the field. If you left them there last week or Sunday, I've got 'em.

Canterbury offers Waves undies discount
Following our order of senior and junior playing shirts from Canterbury Teamwear, they have offered us wholesale prices on their compression and hot and cold undergarments in the Baselayer IONX range. These might come in handy during the long Wombarra winter training nights and perhaps a few windy Saturday afternoons as well.
The links below should take you to the Canterbury website for the information about the garments and also to the price list. You will pay the wholesale price.
If you are interested in buying any training or match gear send me an email and I'll coordinate money etc. I have some samples I can bring to training next week (if it's cold I might be wearing them).
Check out the range here
And the price list here
The links are also down the bottom at On our Wavelength.

Draft fixtures now online
Web guru Kev has formatted the draft season fixtures. You can check it out in Stats Centre down on the bottom right. As we get closer to the season and finalise the squads, Kev will provide a nifty link where you can go and put down the dates you will be away. This helps us with rostering 20 players into a match day 16.

Excellent turn-out on Sunday for our first run of the season, the fact that we managed to cripple Anthony H for the remainder for the season surpasses all previous friendly training sessions, in fact, if we hold training sessions every night before we start the season, we'll be able to field nobody in both teams!
Ant will continue to fine players during the session as well as provide beer for purchase after homes games, all proceeds going back into the club.
I'd like ideas from everyone on any particular social activities they feel would help generate additional funds for the club.
These could include family BBQ days, golf days or trivia nights at the bowlo.......all ideas will be discussed by the committee.
We'll be unable to hold more than 3 events during the season because of family or work commitments, however lets make the most of these events and ensure we have fun as well as raising money for the club.
