gNp OF SF.A.SOlY FOR REPRESEIYIATIVE MATCHES r,nda} s two fine victories capped off a memorabl e ,~ n for our senior and representative teams- no one can
,uc with a live out of five wins scoreline. Senior wins â&#x20AC;&#x17E;<i the South Australian Amateur Football League and e Victorian Country Football League, the C-D4
c~cntative team win against the West Australian ur Football League and the wins of the Under 1 9 against the NSW/ACT team and then the VMFL
n provided an extremely satisfying result for all ;c°rned players, coaches and officials alike . I ;c results of last Sundays matches were as follows : Sralm
q1: VAFA 4 .3 (VCFL 2 .0) Q2 : 9.5 (9 .2) Q3: 16 .9 (10.3) with , final score of VAFA 23.14 (152) to the VCFL 14.8 (92) VAFA goals: Luke Hawkins 7, Denver Ariz 4, Steve McKeo n

VAFA best: Scott Curatolo, Trent Hobart, Michael Mulgrew, Jack Healy, Craig Burns and Paul Gloury . I lild been hying to put into words praise for both teams ;chen I received an email from an avid supporter which I Lnr used to quote from which I believe sums up both formaices : wcnt to the football yesterday (last Sunday) and saw the ', : TA team comprehensively defeat the VCFL team . With all !lic pre-game controversy of player unavailability etc, it v:ould have been no real surprise to see the VAFA team "n19-4e. ri :eze were periods of the game when it appeared the VAFA mm- have been outclassed and been struggling to match it ;1.idi the opposition, lire players must be commended on their fantastic efforts. `.liat this tells me, confirmed by what I saw, is that the `.":TA team was incredibly spirited, very well drilled and ,uitplymore committed to winning than the opposition. But :ow did they get that way?
';irk Bourke must take a lot of the credit . No doubt he had at of good people helping him, but his preparation and aching to a game plan and having faith in it, paid
me dividends". Editor's note : I would support "Avid Supporter's" munents by saying that the same observations could b e

Next week I'll write about plans for next year s state matches which at the moment look quite attractive . PLAYERS REINSTATED WISHING TO TRANSFER POST JUNE 30 One of the conditions of a player being reinstated is that he cannot apply for a transfer to another VAFA club until that club has participated i n 22 matches . When this period expires and is beyond June 30 the player can begin with his new club (after June 30), if the permit has been attended to (clearance signed) before June 30 . The players permit does not become valid until the 22 matches then pass . In the interim he either does not play or plays with the club from whom he wishes to ultimately leave . To make him stand out until permits open (next year) is not in the spirit of the reinstatement guidelines. The important thing is that the permit application must be made before close of permits - June 30. AND b7IYA1 LLY. . ..
