I see Noarlunga had three new recruits from the N.T how did they go?
For a first hitout they did extremely well the 3 lads are from the Tiwi Islands 2 played last season for Tiwi Bombers in NTFL while the other had a season in the island league after playing non stop for 2.5 years (5 seasons ) without a break , got 1 more to unveil this weekend a lightning mis fielder from the highly successfu St Marys club , club has been really welcoming to all the boys and we hope they will add some reAl bite to our season
you guys must be struggling if you have to go to n.t. to get professional footballers.
must be costing a packet.
Emu , on the contrary they collectively cost a tad more than Matt Golding did , we had over 15 players from our senior list depart NFC at the end of 2013 , the commitee and football dept decided to go outside the square to boost our playing stocks , So I called some contacts I had made during my 22 yrs of involvment in Territory Footy to see who was interested in coming down for the Southern Season , considering we had left our run late we got plenty of interest from the Tiwi Islands , So I travelled up in late March to Snake Bay on Melville Island for 2 days and came home with the Signatures of Moreen and the Daniels boys , young Henry Kerinaiua schooled with my son along with another lad we have from Darwin @ the club and asked if he could have a kick with his ol schoolmates and the island boys Henry will play on the MCG in 4 weeks time in the Curtain Raiser for the "Dreamtime At The G" game between Geelong and Essendon , Moreen and Nathan Daniels have previously done this and have imense pride for having been chosen for it ,
I'd hardly describe them as professional footballers but rather simple living islanders who have an incredible love of the game along with a decent amount of skill Nathan and Aaron Daniels both come from NTFL side Tiwi Bombers and Moreen via Palmerston Magpies ( my home club) Kerinaiua lives in Adel and has had 2 seasons with Port Adelaide u18's (2010/11) and has returned to Darwin for the Northern season to playLeague for perenial powerhouse St Marys
The lads have been here for around 3 weeks now living with me @ the moment , all have begun working with clubs sponsors and are undertaking vocational training in the construction industry while earning some pretty good $ along the way along with a few $ each for playing footy one can say they're pretty bloody wrapped with Life as a Shoeboy , Last Saturday Night after the Cove game I've been told by the boys was 'best night ever ' at any southern club they had had
NFC is proud to have these lads onboard for the season with a view to fostering a long term relationship with the people of the Tiwi Islands ,
Sorry about the long spiel but I wanted to put it out there before some of the B/S Artists on here throw there 2 bobs worth in .
SEE YOU @ THE FOOTY FOLKS
