The club like any other affiliated club is obligated to participate in the GLRU 7's tournament. Therefore, we will be playing with 2 teams in the tournament. In anticipation to that we have practiced and accordingly with a 1st and an under19 team respectively.
Because these players have the tendency to make contact with an opposition player when they are in possession of the ball we have made sure that we do not practice any drills which require contact. The past 2 Saturdays we arranged game time by playing the 2 teams against each other. All has gone well and the players responded to the action well. We hope our preparation will pay off when we play in the tournament.
With this in mind and the fact that we are going to play we would like to invite those members to come and watch us play or just to provide moral support to the players. It has been a bit of a sore issue for me that when we play there is only the management of the team present to support these guys. A bit of extra support will go a long way in showing the players that we are not the only people interested in them.
Due to the fact that clubs will only be granted R1000.00 per month by the union it has become evident that we will struggle to sustain or even travel to our away games. Transport from Ennerdale to anywhere in the union will not cost us less than R1000.00 in any direction. If you take into consideration that we have to play at the very least 2 away games in a month. If you make the sums on this you will notice that we will fall short in a big way.
It is with this in mind that we would like to appeal to anyone of you to support or even partner us in the matter. Our players and management will have to put hand in pocket to sustain our mandatory obligations. With players at most times being unable to come up with the required finances we might end up with players stopping completely from playing. On our website we have made available the forms to complete to make a small donation. See Details
We figured if we get people to partner with us it will sponsor some of the players and to compete for the season. This will also ensure that we can continue our development programs with the primary school players. The senior players that are working and some of our supporters have already committed that they will make some contribution to give us the necessary support for our programs. We will be able to provide every donor with a tax certificate that would enable them to submit to SARS at the end of the tax year. So we would say that this is an investment in the future of our community based club and the players thereof. You have an option to do a monthly debit order or you can do a once of payment.
For further details feel free to contact the club and speak to any of its management members. You are welcome to phone me personally on 0724213108
Thanking you
Ranleigh Delport
