Dockers come so close to ending Launceston's Reign:
After having the weekend off with the bye we welcome Wynyard to West Park this Saturday. Following the clubs great performances in all grades against Launceston the previous week the boy's will be looking forward to getting back onto to the field to hopefully continue on with the good start to the season.
U/19 coach Andrew McLaren and reserves coach Brett Holohan would have been wrapped in the their teams performance against Launceston the week before. The progress shown particularly by the U/19's has been a real highlight over the 3 weeks and this is no surprise with the amount of time and detail that Andrew put's into training on a week to week basis. The seniors were close but not close enough, they would have been really kicking themselves after some costly turn over's though out the last quarter with the defecate being only 5 points. The real talking point for the day was the no goal that wasn't given after a set shot that coach Justin Plapp had early in the first quarter. The kick was clearly in by at least half a meter and was given "quiet confidently" a point by the goal umpire and to some very amused supporters and on lookers. Later on that evening, the local news showed quite clearly the error that had been made and left a lot of people wondering only if.
The club would like to congratulate and send our best wishes to Jacob Hislop, Zeke Gardam, Jacob Grubb, Kade Brakey and Tyson Mihocek who all made the state under 18 team. They will compete in the championships in Melbourne for the next week.
Following Saturdays game there will be counter meals available in the Dockers Den, all supporters and members are invited along to enjoy a great feed. Also there will be live DJ music in the clubrooms from 7.00pm onwards so we welcome everyone to stay around and enjoy the night.
Also on the 17th May the club will be holding a trivia night after the South Launceston home game. This will be held at the Dockers Den starting at 7.30pm and will cost $10.00 per person. For any other information or table bookings this can be made by telephoning the club on 64311819.
