HI all and welcome to round 1 News Blog. Each week we will be updating the Blog with the latest goings on and news in our competitions.
Welcome again to new and returning teams, you have all made this our biggest season so far, with 34 teams across 3 divisions at two separate venues. Thanks for making R40s one of the Biggest 9s comp in Australia.
Round one was rain free but the wind made it nearly impossible to kick with any accuracy with the light AFL9 balls. The purchase of new improved goal post were tested to the limit and were often at a 45 degree angle throughout the match which made scoring interesting to say the least. The scores were down on most weeks underlying the effect of the wind. Despite the trying conditions and some early teething problems everyone looked to enjoy themselves and games were played in good spirits at both Venues.
Umpires
I will be harping on about this each week boys. like you players, the umpires will make mistakes, so bite your tongue and get on with the game. Whinging to the umpire takes playing time of the clock and effects the social atmosphere of the game, so knock it off. If players have problems with umpires speak to Macca or Stu at an appropriate time after the game. (if it's us your complaining about bad luck!)

Parking at Wesley
The security Guard at Wesley nearly had a breakdown when he saw blokes parking on the oval (Scoreboard side) on Monday night. He was happy that no one had parked in the bus zone out the front of Coates Pavilion, so we got that right. Please only use the parking at the high street road end along the fence line. There is enough parking to the right and left when entering gate 1. This adherence will ensure we are able to use Wesley in the future, thanks.
Byron Bay AFL9s Carnival
Good luck to our teams who are heading to the BB carnival this weekend, both the Dragons and Wolverines will no doubt do us proud. Have fun lads and watch out for the sharks.
Until next week,
