Hawk Talk, Vol. 5
KICK FOR YOUR CLUB
As you are probably aware, the Barooga Football Netball Club has involved themselves in the Defence Force’s Army Cup Challenge. At the writing of our last newsletter, we were well in front of anyone Australian wide. They say a week’s a long time in footy. Well within the month that has passed, we are locked in an arm wrestle with the strong South Barwon FC in Geelong. By the time you are reading this, both clubs will be around the 1800km mark. The big difference will be that we have 437 kickers……..and they have 552!!!!! If ever we need to band together as a collective group and have everyone contributing, now is that time! $5000 is up for grabs so now we need everyone kicking and everyone recruiting!!!!! Please assist the likes of Carmen, Natasha, Wendy, the Buchanan’s and Nikki, who are doing a power of work trying to keep us alive!!!!

OLDIES VS YOUNGIES
After our last home game, the annual Father vs Sons and Mothers vs Daughters took place. In fiercely fought matches, the body count was high!! From all reports, we did have too many injuries. A great afternoon was had by all, with a great spread put on to feed the players and supporters.
