We had won the last 7 times against Rosebud and for a minute or 2, it looked like we would pinch number 8 in the dying seconds, but it was not to be.  Well done to Rosebud, the best team won on the day. The Appleford / Luck Cup heads east and we have to wait until next year to get it back.  We now need to re-group and get back on the winners list this week against Crib Point a team that has had some great results this year. We are now sitting 3^rd boys and we do won’t to keep ourselves in that top 3 bracket.  

As Holmsey said after the game, lets get  back to that accountable, hard checking, disciplined football we showed in the practice matches and first 3 games this year, and not a forward running team, getting ahead of themselves. Best again and what a great start to the year was Boota, Leigh Morse good to have you back, Matty M, Adam Kirkwood, Tails, and back after retirement Noldty in game 239. Suttsy tried hard all day in the ruck being double team by the Rosebud talls; let’s hope the Big Housey is not too far away.

 The real Rye reserves team came out to play this week and had an easy win, get behind Tractor, Mick and Borro boys and now string a few wins together. Willow again was good, Prowler, Schwindy, Doogie, Hunzie and Tatts Lynch, were also very good.  Boys train as you play and let get the training attendance up now after a good week on the track last week.

If the under 18’s had of kicked straight, the game would have been over at ¾ time and a 10 goal win would have been on the cards, but a win is a win and we will take a 23 point win over Rosebud any day. 33 scoring shots to 15, tells the story. Great games by Josh, Harley, Nosey, Harrow, Byrna and Flynn Holt.

Netballers are back in business with 3 good wins, that’s the results we have come to expect, well done ladies.

Great day was had at the past players / committee day last Saturday even if the result was not what we wanted. Great to see all the past players at the club enjoying themselves, and great to see Shaun Duncan and Reggie Chadwick reliving the 82 Premiership.  Special thanks to Craig Hutchinson and Shaun Duncan on putting up some cash to add to the player awards on Saturday night, much appreciated.

And what a sacrifice Travis Shaw made, gave up a free day on the turps, reliving past premiership glory’s to fill in for Matt O’Rourke as Senior runner, who was unavailable. Shawey that is why you are a legend and good to see you caught up after the game.

Don’t forget the big Raffle, only 800 tickets @ $100 each, $35,000 first prize of your choice and 5 other prizes of $1000. See any committee person for a ticket.

Be Part of Club 140

As a past player of the Rye Football Club, we are looking for your support.

Our aim each year is to play finals football for the Senior, Reserve and Under 18 teams in the MPNFL. Making finals each year gives each team the opportunity in its ultimate goal of a “Premiership”.

Raising funds to give the Rye Football Cub this opportunity each year is an arduous and strenuous task.  With many raffles, fund raisers and sponsors contributing year in, year out.

We would like you, as a past contributor to this great club, to be part of a new initiative, in a “Past Players” Club to help raise funds, and our goal of winning our next “Premiership”.  Be part of club 140. ..............................READ MORE CLICK HERE
