Round 12: Lake Boga Vs Nyah Nyah West

Well, it certainly was music to the ears – hearing the song sung three times last Saturday, with three impressive victories on the footy field. There were also great wins from the A and B graders on the courts. Well done to all players. With two thirds of the season gone, there are three or four sides pushing for finals action, so make sure you get out and support them. Off the field, keep the following in mind:

Tonight: Make the (long) trip back to the Swan Hill Club for tea

Next Week:  After home game, back to Boga Pub for tea and belt out some tunes at the Karaoke Night.

9th August: Goods and Services Auction – this is the major fundraiser for the club, so make sure you see Gaddo or Downsy if you would like to put an item up.

Lake Boga Football Netball Club 2008 Ball

Last Saturday night we had the big Magpie Ball at the Jockey Club. Firstly, a huge thanks to Wes, Mal, Kel, Sewelly, Quicky, Jenalle and others involved with the Social Committee for all their hard work to organize this night. It was a good turn up and everyone enjoyed rockin out to Melbourne band “Farren Jones’. Thanks also to Tony Symonds from Harvey Norman who very generously donated some great raffle prizes for the night .

 Let’s clear up the predictions we made last week – Azza was a no show  but would have been beaten by Rik Pumpa for worst outfit anyway (although he had some stiff competition from the Prawn, who I think borrowed the coaches black turtle neck). Bluey confirmed my worst dancer tip with his walking stick routine – closely followed by Mick Harrop, who managed to deck two girls on the dance floor (one of whom was his sister). And the ‘hardest partier’ – well let’s just say it was someone from 42 Coronation, but not one of the men I would have thought. Apparently Mr Harrison has brownie points saved up for years to come after his nursing efforts that night. Please check out other photos from the night here.

Introducing Mitchell Taylor

The LBFNC congratulate Adam, Vicki, Carli, Choe & Nicholas on the arrival of Mitchell Geoffrey Taylor on June 4th 2008. Mitchell was happy to wait full term and for Mum to make it to hospital (unlike big bro. Nicholas) and weighed a healthy 9pd 15 oz. Already sleeping right through, Mitch is a valued addition to the increasing 'Boga Baby Stocks', which can be viewed here.

Mystery Bus Tour

A big well-done to the social crew on the successful Mystery Bus Trip, which was so well attended that 2 buses were needed! Fair effort that with a final figure of 79 having a fantastic night!!. Thanks also to Java Spice and the Fed in particular for their hospitality, with the latter kicking into lockdown after close!

The night took the route of Lake Boga Pub, Java Spice for a rippa banquet meal, Beverford Tavern, Nyah-West Pub and the Federal Hotel. Miss Taverna gave everyone a taste of what she sings to her Grade Preps, while poor old Quicky couldn’t shake the peg all night. Prawn showed he’s a better footballer than dancer, Chainsaw showed some acrobatics, while someone might have to remind Joey Murph which pubs we actually went to. Thanks to everyone for supporting the event, which we can all agree, was a huge success. See here for more photos.

New players and members welcome for 2008
The Lake Boga Football Netball Club is eagerly awaiting the return of footy / netball to old Boga town in 2008. With no water in the lake this summer, all attention has turned to returning Boga to its powerhouse status of recent years.

Whilst history suggests that 2007 was not an overly successful season, there were many positive signs, particularly in the second half of the season where many of the younger players showed sharp improvement. Dogged by a horrendous run of injury, the team will be looking forward to the full recovery of several key senior players missing in 2007, including town favorite Kyle Braun, Martin Gray and Ben Pumpa (all recovering from leg injuries). With the addition of numerous promising recruits, season 2008 is shaping to be one to remember.

New players, supporters and committee members are all welcome to join this great club. Please see the list of club contacts for further information or join the new ‘MagpieMail’ from this site. Those subscribed to ‘MagpieMail’ will receive up-to-date information regarding club functions, dates and announcements. Already the social club calendar is jammed packed full of functions and events for its members to enjoy!

Go the Pies in 08!

Lake Boga Football Netball Club goes online
The Lake Boga Football Netball Club is proud to launch their new website, which will provide an invaluable resource for its members, players, supporters and sponsors. Available features of the site include registration to receive ‘MagpieMail’, posting of training dates and times, social committee announcements, cub news, stacks of photos and more!!

The aim of the site is to provide constant updates to keep content fresh and useful. If any club member, coach or supporter wishes to post an item on the site, please contact Wes Pye through the club.

The club would like to express tremendous gratitude for the efforts of Michael Willson in designing and preparing the site. Michael has generated the site free of charge and was only too willing to help when discussions first commenced late in 2007. The former club premiership player has certainly proven that he is more than just a sneaky goal kicker. Thanks heaps Micka!
