Name me and WIN

December 21, 2009

In the interests of keeping all Austral members informed about what is happening at the club we will be sending out regular newsletters and we need a name for it.  So get your creative thinking caps on and give it a name.  If yours is judged best by our committee you will receive a discount on your 2010 membership fees.


New Coaches Appointed

December 21, 2009

The committee sought applications for the two senior coaching roles and we are proud to announce the appointment of Michael Murphy as the Senior Women’s Coach and Simon Phillips as the Senior Men’s Coach for 2010.

Both Michael and Simon bring a great deal of energy and enthusiasm coupled with recent years of experience coaching at both State League and National Junior level.

We are confident with Michael and Simon at the helm that the future is bright for both our men’s and women’s program.

Stay tuned for more updates from Michael and Simon in future publications.


Farewell to Pottsy

December 21, 2009

It is with much sadness that I advise Jason Potts has decided to leave Austral after 3 years with the club as a coach.  A former player for the club, Jason returned to Austral in 2007 to coach the Reserve Men before taking up the position as the Head Coach of the League Women for season’s 2008 & 2009 – being voted as State League’s Best Women’s Coach in both of those years.

Jason’s experience has seen the League Women develop into a strong team and we all hope to see his work continue to be developed in the coming seasons.

We wish Jason and his family all the best for the future and hope to see them back at the club sometime soon.
