PLAYERS LEAVING NJL:
It's at this time of the year that sadly we acknowledge our Under 18’s that have completed their final year of Northern Junior League. We hope they are not strangers to us and stick around in some capacity as referees or assistant coaches.
From the Under 18 Girls we have Holli Brindle, Danielle McMahon & Amy Sully
Under 18 Boys are Sam Davis, Reily Dalton, & Brodie Roberts
A SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Shane Dunlop, Wendy Smith, Kerry Howarth, Jenny Howarth, Nicole Howarth, Graeme & Deb Rose, Anna Murat, Paul Murat, Sheryl Attwood, David Cross, Ken Lowry, Leanne & Paul Schellenberger, Jenny Harry, Ruby Roddenby, Cameron Martyn, Courtney Smith & Shannon Goodenough.
Thank you all for the time and dedication that you have shown our association. Without you and the jobs that you undertake and the additional workload that you put your hands up for when called upon, we would not be able to function. We hope to see you all again next year.
