PRESENTATION NIGHT SET
The Central Murray and Golden Rivers Football Netball League Presentation Nights will move online this year, with Covid restrictions making the traditional events nigh impossible to hold.
The two presentation nights will be held over three nights, with the Golden Rivers junior football and netball awards set to kick off proceedings this Sunday from 5pm.
The Central Murray Football Netball League will follow from 6.30pm Sunday evening, with the junior football and netball, as well as the Reserves football awards as well as the A Reserve, B Grade and B Reserve netball.
The EG Hunt Medal night will continue on Monday September 20th from 6pm, with the senior football and netball awards set to wrap up season 2021 in the Golden Rivers Football Netball League.
The Central Murray season will conclude on Tuesday evening from 6pm, with the Best & Fairest’s in the Under 18’s netball to be followed by the Colts football and the A Grade netball awards.
The night will then wrap up with the Jack Betts Medal count, in what is judged to be one of the most wide-open vote counts in recent memory.
The awards nights can all be streamed online by going to the respective leagues Facebook pages.
SIGNING SPREE CONTINUES
Macorna’s recruitment and re-signing spree continues, with the Tigers securing the signatures of another two key members of their 2021 line-up.
Midfielder Daniel Green and defender Grady Smith have both put pen to paper and re-signed to play in the yellow and black next season; but it’s the recruitment of exciting key position player Lachlan Ritchie who has really got the Tigers excited.
Ritchie played all eleven senior games for Mansfield in the Goulburn Valley Football League this season, having previously played with the Gold Coast Suns Reserves team in the NEAFL, as well as the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and Palm Beach in the QAFL.
A strong overhead mark, Ritchie can play at either end of the ground in a key position capacity, and will help add flexibility to the Macorna line-up in 2022.
BOUND BY BLUE IN 2022
It’s not just Macorna who continue to make re-signings ahead of next season, but their Golden Rivers rivals Murrabit also have a number of key players putting pen to paper.
The latest two in a string of players recommitting to the Blues are a pair of attacking half back flankers in Brody Green and former Koondrook-Barham defender Michael Grant.
Green and Grant join Marc O’Neill, Nathan O’Toole and the Hetherington boys in re-signing for next season with Murrabit.
