Tanya McDonald has taken on the vital role of Junior Co-ordinator for the 2011/12 season.

Tanya, who has played with our women's teams for the past two seasons and has also played a number of games in the men's grades - including one memorable match when she cleaned up West Coburg with three wickets - is keen to ensure our juniors hit the ground running this season.

She has already been given the full support of the Club's two previous Junior Co-ordinators - Kevin Gardiner and Charlie Walker, who between them had the role covered for 10 years - and Past President Darren Nagle, who was Prez when we established juniors in 1996 and is now a junior coach.

We're calling on players, parents and supporters to give Tanya their full support and ensure she has plenty of back-up to do the important job.

Tanya is calling for expressions of interest and nominations to finalise the junior coaching roles for this season.

We have nominated one Under 16 team, three Under 14 teams, two Under 12 teams and two Under 10 teams for 2011/12, plus a Milo program for the youngsters.

Rahul "Sunny" Sharma and Vice President Simon Thornton are jointly coaching our Under 16s. Darren Nagle has nominated to coach one of the Under 14 teams in association with Ross Aitken, and Brad D'Elton is coaching another. Kevin Gardiner has nominated to coach an Under 12s team with support from Michael Cumbo, and John Talone has expressed a willingness to either coach an Under 10 team or run the Milo program. Pat Taylor has nominated to coach Under 10s.

Any other nominations or expressions of interest should be directed to Tanya McDonald on 0432 165 672 or by email to tanya_l_mcdonald@hotmail.com
