12th of July-Belated update (website extradonaire lost in Indonesia)

Thought it was time for a update considering I've been a bit slack in my updates and traveling hasn't helped. If youbeen under a bigger rock than me lately Jason Watts the coach of the last three and half years has left the club. The Red Hill Football Netball club would like to thank him for his great contribution of the last few years including last years finals. In his stead Gary Colling and Adnrew Brady were appointed caretaker coaches of the seniors. This has seen a reversal in fortune with the seniors achieving their first win albiet after the tragic loss of a young child of the Holmes clan. The game immediately preceding this tragedy all three current Holmes players starred in the seniors and reserves respectably and all five teams won on the day a fitting tribute to a family and couple that have given so much blood, sweat and tears to our club and who now face a immense challange. The club will be there for anything and everything in helping the Holmes family deal with this tragedy.

On other news the under 18s and netballers continue to impress with finals and a double chance for the under 18s well within their abilities.

Social: The Auction night is coming up! The club each year cannot reiterate the importance of this night for the football club. The middle of the year is the most straining for the club and a good auction night can ensure that the executive committee retain a few of those few precious hairs for another year. So please contact Chris on 0409174745 for tickets (8-10 on a table).

18th of May-Just a quick update

Sorry if the updates are a bit late but been a bit busy. The football side of things isn't traveling to great at the moment with the seniors winless and the reserves unable to get points on the board in the last two weeks. This is mainly due to the injury list which doesnt seem to be shrinking anytime soon but a lack of form also has resulted in poor results. However all loses especially in the seniors were within 5 goals and the kids that have been giving bigger roles due to the injury list have done exceptionally well most notably Bush, Laffa and Jonesy. The under 18s went down to Frankston and a lift will be needed to challange them in future however they also saw off Dromana in a tough and close display which showed real characted and see them sitting comfortably third. Keep up the good work.

The netballers in a bit of a role reversal are traveling very well compared with previous years winning more games than theyve lost in the B grade and the C grade cutting it even. A great effort and it looks like a bit of winnign culture made be starting to form over in the netball shed.

Next Round: Sorrento away

30th of April-Injuries and poor form taking their toll

We welcomed the arch enemy Crib Point up to Red Hill on Saturday in what was not a very succesful day at the office. The under 18s continue to show the older lads how its done with a 70+ win. A bigger test next week against Frankston is on the cards however. Special mention to Jarry Douglas with 7 Goals:J. Douglas 7, D. Neal 2, J. Pain 2, J. Bateman , S. Collins , T. Clements , J. Dowling , C. Davis , B. Williams Best: B. Williams, J. Pain, J. Dowling, W. Tuck, J. McKinnon, D. Neal, J. Douglas. The reserves had to call on some older heads with the injury list getting a bit long however that is no excuse to lose to a side that they really should have beaten comfortably and almost did after playing 1 quater of footy. Best: B. Martin, A. Smith, L. Harris, D. Ritchie, J. Woolacott, S. Dangerfield Goals: A. Mock 3, S. Ramsay 3, N. Esipoff 2, L. Harris , R. Mace. The seniors started slow, remained slow and then decided that they might kick a couple late on to make the margin respectable. The 3 quatres of apathy were not what the club is about and is even less acceptable against the arch enemy in Crib Point. Congradulationsto Ethan "E" Masters on his senior debut and good to see Rhys Jonesm Mitch La Fontaine and Josh Mold making an impact so early into their 2nd games. Best: P. Dal Lago, H. Larwill, K. Hitchiner, M. Dal Lago, B. Maguinness, M. La Fontaine Goals: P. Dal Lago 3, M. Dal Lago 2, J. Sweeney 2, R. Jones 2, J. Mold , J. Hitchiner

The Netballers on the other hand were far more productive winning a thriller in the B grade and also have a win in the C grade. It looks like Cathy Mold has got the girls playing well together finally.

28th of April-RIP ACE

The club would like to send its commiserations to "Aces" family a former Red Hill reserves coach (1999-2001) who was hugely popular among his charges and around the club during his tenure. Rest in Peace.

16th of April-All the best for the walking wounded

The club would like to wish all the best to the walking wounded that are currently in oversupply at the club at the momen. Sean Holmes(senior captain), Jake and Josh Mold, Marcus Boyd, Tom Collett, Ryan Blake and from the reserves inspirational skipper Brent Ritchir. All the best in your recovery boys.

16th of April-Round 2 disaster

Well we headed down to Tyabb in what was a pretty ordinary day for all but one side. The under 18s got us started with a cruising win of Tyabb winning comfortably despite the absence of two of their stars in Moldyy and Laffa. Well done! Best: J. Douglas, R. Shaw, J. McKinnon, T. Clements, S. Stephens, D. Neal Goals: J. Douglas 4, T. Clements 3, J. Sloggett 2, J. Lowther , W. Tuck , J. Pain , C. Davis , J. Batema. The reserves were the bigger disapointment of the day losing to the Yabbies. The twos have set a standard over the past few years and losing to sides we normally beat doesnt fit that standard. Best: B. Martin 3, A. Mock 3, S. Dangerfield , R. Mace , A. Morrison , R. Jones Goals:E. Marsters, A. Morrison, R. Mace, J. Graham, J. Woolacott, L. Harris. The seniors was the lowlight of the day being soundly beaten and to add insult to injury losing several key players to long term injuries. Best: H. Byrt, J. Mold, H. Larwill, M. Dal Lago, T. Pratt, S. Delgrosso Goal Kickers: J. Sweeney 2, K. Hitchiner , F. Backhausen , J. Mold , J. Mold , P. Dal Lago , T. Gibson , J. Mitchel. Congradulations to Josh Mold and Mitch La Fontaine (round 1) for their senior debuts a great effort for two 17 year olds!

The netballers didn't fare much better than the footballers unfortunately with both sides going down to the powerhouse sides of Tyabb.

9th of April-Round 1 gets underway

Round 1 saw Rosebud make their way up White Hill road for the Flinders Pub cup. The under 18s got us started off with a 60+ win despite not playing great footy and with a few injuries. Goals: J. Mold 4, J. Douglas 3, S. Stephens 2, D. Neal , J. Dowling , W. Tuck , L. Kelly , J. Pain , J. Bateman Best: J. Pain, R. Hopgood, J. Mold, T. Clements, J. Douglas, S. Stephens. The reserves were never headed om their 30+ point win but never really hit top gear and will need to improve in future weeks. Goals D. Jones 2, R. Jones 2, T. Gilmour , B. Martin , A. Smith , T. Pratt Best: L. Harris, J. Woolacott, T. Pratt, H. Kellett, H. Byrt. The seniors never really hit top gear but played some good football but also played some terrible football aswell and were well beaten despite kicking a couple in the last to bring the score back. Goals: M. Dal Lago 3, R. Blake 3, S. Holmes , J. Sweeney Best: S. Delgrosso, P. Dal Lago, R. Blake, H. Larwill, K. Hitchiner, F. Kearney

The netballers fielding just a B and C side this year had two comfortable wins which is a good sign considering the last couple years but may draw the ire of the league so we shall have to see how they go against the league heavyweights in Tyabb next week.
