Celebrating 10 years in the Vic Country AFL Masters League, the Woodend Masters Football Club continues to welcome new members.
The club held its Membership Night last Friday at Buffalo Stadium.
While training across the summer, the membership drive (and promise of a post training session barbecue) saw numbers swell considerably.
Goes to prove the age-old Masters adage of “put on a barbecue and they will come”.
Kyneton local Kip became the latest Hawk.
The night also saw several Masters’ children participating in the group exercises and skill drills run by Jules and Chew.
Highlights included Leo’s leaping mark across half-back and Finn’s barrel over Billy to bring an end to the half-field match simulation.
There’s still plenty of time for potential players to get on board before the season kicks off on Sunday, April 6, at the exciting new Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct against Gisborne.
So, if you still get a kick out of footy and would like to get involved in some glorified group fitness, put on some runners and head on down.
Woodend Masters hold a close association with Woodend Junior Football Netball Club and Woodend Hesket Football Netball Club, and come together under the banner of ‘Three Clubs One Community’.
So, when the call came out to assist with the senior club’s recent Golf Day, the Masters were very happy to answer the call, with Koliba and his team taking out the event.
The Woodend Masters seek to provide a healthy (physical and mental) space for men in the community, and support other community groups through assistance and fundraising.
Anyone wanting to join in is encouraged to monitor the Woodend Masters social pages for updates.
