This week's Issue of the Flanker Magazine is the final issue for season 2014.
Thank you to all our loyal followers during the season and we trust we will see you in the Falcon colours in season 2014. Better still, why not get more involved by joining the new committee at the AGM on Wednesday 16th October at the clubrooms commencing at 7pm for a 7.30 start of proceedings. Refreshments will be available.
On pages 3 through to 9 are the match reports from round 18 of the home and away season and all the match reports from the Under 19s finals campaign. Congratulations to John Gordon and the players on getting into 3 Grand Finals in a row winning one in second division and being runner up twice to Blackburn in first division.
The President's report is on page 2 and the Junior President's on pages 10 and 11. On pages 12 through to 21 are snaps from the Under 19s game against Noble Park at home on Saturday 24th August.
On page 22 is a copy of the Under 19s team photo for 2013. Copies of the photo and the Reserves and Seniors can be purchased over the counter at Ray White's Lilydale Office, opposite the Olinda Creek Hotel on Maroondah Highway, Lilydale. The photos can be purchased during office hours 9am to 5pm for the cost of $10 each. All proceeds go to the football club.
On page 23 are the details of the Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 16th October 2013 in the social rooms. All members are encouraged to attend and be a part of the action for season 2014.
All the final ladders are provided on pages 24 through to 30 and on page 31 is a bit of nostalgia from 1952 featuring our great club. This extract from the VFL record dated 14th June 1952 was provided by Graeme Fellowes who himself was a VFL umpire of some repute. Thank you Graeme.
And finally on the back page are the results of the Falconians Big Bucks draw which was made on August 8th in the rooms.
We would like to thank Frank Whelan and his staff at Commodore Press for producing the Flanker 13 for us each week. The professionalism and standard of service of his staff and business is first class. Please return the favour and send all your printing needs to Commodore Press.
