New ‘Dog joins the kennel

Peter Bannan

AFTER a tough 2016 Central Murray Football Netball League (CMFNL) campaign, the Tyntynder Bulldogs Football Netball Club have settled on their coaching staff for the 2017 season, bringing in a coach from down south to improve their results.

Kerang local, and former coach in South Gippsland, Jay McDonald will look to guide the ‘Dogs back into the finals, taking the reigns of the young side despite being just 23 years old himself.

The club made the call early they would have a playing-coach come into the club, finding a ‘perfect fit’ in McDonald who will be at the club for the next two years.
