Not having ventured down to this neck of the woods in my 30 odd years of playing and coaching, and having only rad the press regarding Rosewater, I was a bit hesitant in what to expect.
I would like to offer my sincere thanks, and congratulations to the Rosewater Junior football club.
The Junior President met and greeted me, and showed me where our changerooms were, then spoke to all my officials before the game. I sought out Rosewater's under 12 coach before the game, as I always do, and he was extremely nice, and agreed that it was about the kids, and the result would be of no consequence.
The game was played in great spirits, the umpiring was excellent, and after the game all of Rosewater's coaching team came over and shook hands, and congratulated all the players.
I have written to Mr. Kernahan and conveyed that it was one of the more enjoyable junior games I have been involved with.
Kudos to everyone at Rosewater FC.
PS. Canteen facilities were first rate, and even had Farmers Union Iced Coffee, which is a must on game day for this coach.
Isn't it great, so many times people like to take pot shots at other clubs for a minor thing like a loud supporter, canteen line too long or anything that doesn't really affect their life, generally just a dislike to who their complaint is at.
We all have good and bad experiences at nearly every venue we visit, it's pleasing to hear nothing but praise for a club that has been beaten up a bit over the past couple of years.
I know the woman who runs the canteen out there and her husband who wears his heart on his sleeve for RFC, reading this was very pleasing. Great work Moe, go pour yourself a beer mate,
