THE BURRA IS IN THE GRAND FINAL........TWICE !!
With both our teams winning the first 2 weeks of their Finals, they achieved the best possible scenario securing their place in the big one and having last weekend off to give some sore bodies a chance to rejuvenate. And we couldn't have asked for anything better than that !
Our Reserves remain undefeated (with a mere 1 point win over Rupo in their last Final) and will meet our toughest competition of the year in Sunbury Kangaroos on the day. And after 12 months and a long season of football competition, it comes back to where we left off this time last year with our Seniors coming up against Romsey again.
Can our Reserves win just one more game and finish the season undefeated with a Premiership Cup ??
Can our Seniors right the wrong from last year and show Romsey that even on their home ground we are better than them, and finally break the Senior Premiership drought ??
Our Club strongly believes they both can this year........and wouldn't that blow the roof off the Burra's Club !
We are asking just one more thing from you all before the Footy Season draws to a close, and that is the most important thing you could do for your Club all year. Our boys need your help. They need their supporters at the Grand Final. They need the ground surrounded by Red and Blue. They need to hear hundreds of loud voices cheering for THEM. It does make a difference, and could just be the thing to give them the edge in what we expect to be two very close games.
We know our boys will do all they can, and if we do the same from the other side of the fence, we could ALL be celebrating a history making event for
Diggers Rest Football Netball Club back in the Club Rooms on Sunday night.
Both our Teams will be in the Home Change Rooms and the Home Coaches box and wearing the blue shorts......they have earned that right ! So get yourselves up to the ground early, find a great spot to cheer them on, and settle in for what will be two very special games of Footy that we've all worked so hard to be a part of.
Thursday night will be our very last Selections Night for Season 2015. Along with the usual meals, bar, raffles, Powerball and the final Members Draw for the year, we will be the first to hear just which 44 boys will have the honour of representing our great Club on the biggest day of the year. Please come along and get behind our boys as we wish them well for Sunday.
And with all the hype of a double Grand Final, it seems we've smashed all records with our anticipated attendance at Presentation Night this year ! All seats are fully booked, but not all seats are fully paid, so with Thursday Night being the last chance to secure a ticket, please make sure you get to the Club and see Peta, Amy and Dawn to either pay for your ticket or confirm your table arrangements if you've already paid. If you haven't paid by Thursday night, you won't be on the guest list.......and there are many just waiting to take your place !
Further details about Grand Final Day and other Club information is in this attached edition of the Blog.
Finally, to everybody who has supported our Club in one way or another this year, we thank you immensely, and simply couldn't be where we are now without you.
To our Players, Coaches and Volunteers who will represent our Club on Sunday and carry with them the hopes and dreams of all of us, we thank you for giving us this exciting opportunity, we are so very proud of you, and we wish you every success as you endeavour to bring home the "Big Ones" for us.
And for the last time this year............ GO BURRA'S !!!!!
