A notice from our president about senior coach Steve Buckle
Unfortunately I’m almost sounding like a broken record, Seniors were in the game up until the last 10min, probably needed to take more of our opportunities in the 3rd. Over the coming weeks we should be getting back to pretty much full strength, so let hope we can just make a few slight adjustments & start winning games of footy, we are not far away.
It was a bitter pill to swallow last Saturday, looking like we had the game under control in the last quarter, but absolute credit to North Ringwood who never game up & ended up winning by 3 points.
