Footy at Last!

Season 2009 is now upon us. Teams, coaches and team managers are all in place and the Roy boys and girls are back playing footy! We're still looking for U11s to boost numbers in that age group, but other teams are now settled into solid groups.
Go Roys!!

Boot Swap

Sally Fawkes and Chris Grace coordinate the FJFC Bootswap. So clear out that shed or wardrobe – all sizes in demand – especially US sizes 8 and up!

The FJFC Bootswap operates on a 'donate what you can, take what you need' system. You have 3 options - donate boots OR donate and take a pair OR just take a pair. The FJFC community is very generous and we usually have more boots donated than taken. All boots eventually get loving homes.

The Bootswap boxes are on the front verandah at 14 Howitt St, Northcote (Westgarth area). Alternatively, Sally will be at Under 13s training at Ramsden Street on Thursdays at 5.45pm mostweeks with the boot boxes. So please bring along your donations and/or check whether we have what you need. If donating, please make sure the boots are as clean as possible, though none will be rejected. All sizes/ brands welcome. It would be helpful if you could tag them with the US boot size or write the size on the top of the boot. Call 94823492 or email us with any queries.

New Home Ground for U10s and U11s

This season, our U10s and U11s will be playing their home games at the Kevin Bartlett Sporting Complex, near the Yarra River in Richmond (Melways Ref 59 A1). For the past two seasons, the Alfred Crescent ground has been home to our youngest players, but this season it is being resurfaced and a new pavillion built. All works should be finished in time for us to return for the 2010 season.

In the meantime, the FJFC is being very well hosted by the Richmond Central Football Club which plays senior football in the Victorian Amateur Football Association. Special thanks to President, Warwick Bracken, and FJFC ground manager, Lachlan McDonald, for making our transition to this ground so smooth. Thanks also to Flirtatious Foods which is providing canteen services - please support them by buying up big on game days!

Sponsorship for 2009 Season

FJFC is pleased to announce that we have recently been granted a community sponsorship from the Clifton Hill/North Fitzroy Community Bank® Branch of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank at 101 Queens Parade, Clifton Hill. This sponsorship has enabled us to upgrade equipment. Many thanks.
