Such an innocent Nathan ElliotNATHAN ELLIOT

BUNKS IN WITH CHALKY

Takeout asks - is this a mistake?

Former team and league trainer, Nathan Elliot has secured temporary accommodation with 2007 premiership player, Allan (two l's) McGlinn after recently moving to the Northern Territory city of Darwin.

 

Elliot said he has been there a week and seems to be paying for everything.  "Chalky is great bloke, knows a lot of people, some bad dudes too but even in the short space of time I has been here he has me paying the rent on this place now"  Elliot said.

 

"I mean, I don't mind a fair thing but when Chalky brings home some of his darlings from work who call him Mr Yummy (what a f****** laugh), I get a bit worried.  I have taken to locking my wallet in the car in case some of them come back after the Chalk wanted to introduce me to one called 'Wellington Boot'.  I must be missing something here, I don't get that???"The Chalk

 

Elliot has just been transferred to Darwin in his employment and is keen to find a new love in his life. 

 

Advice from Takeout:  Just be careful.  That bloke has more points than a porcupine "Your shout Nathan - do I have to tell you again?" says the Chalk.

 

Stuart CameronBOMBERS PUT

SOS OUT TO

STEWY AND DARREN BLACKMORE

An urgent call has gone out to Stuart Cameron and Darren Blackmore to get them back from the UK for this week's encounter in the first semi.

 

The two have been holidaying in style in the old country but with the failing results over the past couple of weeks the match committee is seeking out qualified faces who can supplement the team for the semis.

Stewy is well qualified and would have become a lifeDarren Blackmore member this year if the club hadn't have changed the rules while Blackmore, not actually a big contributor when it comes to paying fees, has been training in the UK ready to make a big impression on his return.  It is believed they have hired an exercise bike during the flight back from London to keep their fitness up.

Another the club is talking to is 'Moneybags McLean' who moved to Perth to take up a job with a leading finance company and believe you me he is on big dollars, so he could afford to fly himself back!!!

 

 

  BOMBERS DOWN AGAINST DOGS

 

Saturday was not a successful day out for the Bombers; defeated in three grades.

Despite this the firsts gave a good showing considering they were without a number of their key players but a six goals to one by the Bulldogs in the first quarter virtually put paid to any chance they might have had of victory.

Young Hugh Wells had a great game chasing the ball and providing accurate kicking in his delivery.  Draino was another who performed well but at times erratic. 

 

Corey Shackleton was again solid in the back line marking most that came his was and his play was robust and solid in the typical defenders mode.

The loss has not dented the teams position and they will play Warners Bay again this Saturday in the first semi final.

 

Warners Bay 6.4 9.8 12.10 15.11(101)
Killarney Vale 1.3 3.5 5.8 8.9 (57)
Goals: Mick Solomons 2, Bryce Singleton 2, Matthew Chaplin, Michael Clarke, Justin Daley and Scott Reid 1 each.
Best:  Corey Shackleton, Hugh Wells, Justin Daley, Mick Solomons, Michael Clarke, Jason Edgley.

RESERVES ALSO LOSE

Coach John Carpenter was lost for words following is sides 13.9 (87) to 6.4 (40) loss to Warners Bay.

John said it wasn't the loss but the gross lack of commitment from the majority of the players.

"I know we had a lot out but I don't think the team has performed that poorly for years" Carpenter said.

 

Warners Bay 4.2 6.3 11.7 13.9 (87)
Killarney Vale 3.0 5.2 5.3 6.4 (40)
Goals: Steve Cutler 3, Nathan Elsworthy 1, Ryan Mahalm 1, Adam Rumpler 1 each.
Best: Steve Cutler, Adam Rumpler, Ben O'Connor, Piggy Watts, Aaron Turner, Toby Coates.

UNDER 18s DOWN ON NUMBERS

The Under 18 were down on numbers for the last game but played well when, under such circumstances it is difficult to do so.

Luke Freemantle and Brendan Lewis were singled out as the team's best for the game but there were others. 

These guys played well all season and but for a bit of extra commitment from some, they would have finished much higher on the ladder.  Theres always next year.

 

Warners Bay 4.4 8.10 12.19 16.24 (120)
Killarney Vale 1.0 1.0 1.0 2.3 (15)
Goals: Angus Baldwin and Luke Freemantle 1 each.
Best:  Luke Freemantle, Brendan Lewis, Bryce Singleton, Hugh Wells, Josh Cartwirght, Matthew Plush.

 

 

McVEIGH NAMED

CAPTAIN OF

30 YEAR TEAM

 The name, McVeigh, was again in the headlines, when Tony McVeigh was named as captain of the club's 30 year team before almost 200 people at the Bombers Anniversary Dinner held at the Bay Sports Club on Saturday Night.

This capped a great day for Killarney Vale after they defeated traditional rivals, Gosford, 23.10 (148) to 9.4 (58) at Adelaide Street Oval before one of the the biggest crowds ever seen at the ground.

Former players and officials came from all over the country to join in the celebrations at which ex-juniors, Mark and Jarrad McVeigh, both now playing for separate AFL Clubs, were present.

Whilst Tony McVeigh was named captain of the club's Dream Team, current leader Pat Schell was chosen as Vice Captain.

The team includes:

 

Full back line: John Carpenter, Russell Stimson, Sean Killen;

Half Backs:  Pat Schell, Shane Reid, Tony McVeigh;

Centre: Warren Maguire, Matthew Daniel, Clint Austerberry;

Half Forwards: Dane Amidy, Rex Imrie, Geoff Cann;

Full forward line: Jason Edgley, Mick Smith, Alan Martin;

Rucks: Paul Harrison, Mitchell Gray, Garry Richardson;

Interchange: Mick Thurston, Corey Shackleton, Rick White, Alan McGlinn.

Coach: Peter King, Asst Coach: Mick French,

Team Manager: Alan Elsworthy, Runner: Jim Richardson.

Trainers: Sean Riedel, Bob Brown.

 

Six out of the team are current players whilst all had to fit a criteria laid down by the selectors.

 

HARRISON GETS

DISTINGUISHED MERIT AWARD

Former captain and coach, Paul Harrison was awarded the club's first Distinguished Merit Award on Saturday Night.

 

This award was only recently established to recognize people, more particularly players within the club, who have served above and beyond their positions.

The criteria for it's selection included:

 

1.    Has played over 100 games.

2.    His contribution has altered or directed the course

       of the club.

3.    His commitment and sacrifice to the club is

       unquestioned.


Harrison easily fitted these conditions.  He coached for three seasons, including one premiership, played 186 games  kicking 174 goals for the club.  He won the club's B & F on four occasions and runner-up twice.  'Wal' is still warmly regarded within club circles.

 

MARK AND JARRAD McVEIGH

JOIN IN CELEBRATIONS

As part of the AFL's 150th match celebrations, Sydney Swans's Jarrad McVeigh and Essendon's Mark McVeigh attended the club's several anniversary events over the weekend.

 

As part of this they joined in with all the juniors presenting awards and giving autographs and supported the club's efforts to make the day such a success.

 

 

 

BAY SPORTS CLUB

SUPPORTS BOMBERS

The Bay Sports Club has decided to get behind the Bombers as it's major sponsor for 2008.  The club, which was formerly known as the Bateau Bay Bowling Club and since taken over by Canterbury Bulldogs, are keen to involve clubs like ours in their community programme.

Killarney Vale Bombers are keen to foster a further association with the Sports Club and have already discussed additional events and other functions with Sports Club Officials.

 

 

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

DEFER NEW WEBPAGE

With the club's new webpage almost about to be posted difficulties were found in the editing process which has now delayed it's launch until a new editing progamme can be located.  For the meantime we are stuck with what you see.

 

 

CATHO PUB SPONSORS SENIORS

Catherine Hill Bay Hotel has signed on to sponsor the club and first grade side this season.  Club Sponsorship Manager, Tom Aafjes announced the arrangement this week.  The club will visit the hotel following away games and on other arranged occasions.  The Catho Pub logo will get the major sponsors logo on the club's new website as soon as it comes online.

AAFJES SAND AND SOIL GET RESERVES

The club's Sponsorship Manager, Tom Aafjes has come to an agreement with his family over the sponsorship of the reserve grade for 2008 and Gold Sponsorship of the Club.

His father, Mick, played a big part in the last few seasons in his faith in the club and gave a good deal of support and backing to the Bombers which was repaid with a senior grade premiership.

His Tuggerah based company not only does work and delivers on the Central Coast but also has a lot of business in Newcastle where it is breaking new ground in the environmental materials business which he says is growing by the day.

 

 

 

IT DOESN'T GET

ANY BETTER

Bombers win Flag

In a game where the underdog got the nod, Killarney Vale defeated Newcastle City in the grand final to win a game against all odds.  They won 9.9 (63) to 4.17 (41), their first premiership in the BDAFL and their last since 1998.

The Bombers had played City three times this season and were soundly beaten however the co-coaches, Steve Cutler and Pat Schell were at pains to see their side win.

The game started with the Bombers winning the toss and kicking with the wind.

With that came four unanswered goals from Rick White, Jackson Ireland (2) and Dane Amidy.  From there it was almost a game of 'keepings off'.  We had
the lead and the Blues had to get there.

The rain came and made conditions very hard to mark and get a hold of the football.

City tried but so too did the Bombers and they played well in maintaining the lead and staying well in front.

Dane Amidy starred for the Bombers.  Captain, Pat Schell was another who was cleaning up in the backline and shooting the ball down to Jackson Ireland, Wal Harrison and and Glen Page.  They played well.

The match got tight but so did the Bombers defence with a stirling performance from Corey Shackleton, Michael Clarke and Nathan Chaplin.

 

The side lasted the pressure to win the game and the premiership.

 

 

Newcastle City 0.2 1.7 2.10 4.17 (41)
Killarney Vale 4.6 4.7 6.9 9.10 (64)
Goals:  Jackson Ireland 2, Glen Page 2, Paul Harrison, Rick White, Steve Cutler, Josh Fountain, Dane Amidy 1 each.
Best: Dane Amidy, Pat Schell, Jackson Ireland, Tim Snelling,  Jason Edgley, Nathan Chaplin, Michael Smith, Corey Shackleton.
