We will be champions

We are Winners! And We will be champions soon! This year we formed a team from scratch, a team that became more competitive, playing with passion, courage and never giving up. We stepped up and shone when required and with honour defended our colours and defeated the opposition in turn to get into the Grand Final. A great achievement, a goal planned at the beginning, a dream made true. An everyone success.

I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to coach this group of players; also glad, proud and very happy for what we have already achieved.

Our triumphs against East, Sunnybank, Redlands, Norths and Browns Plain were a challenge that we passed with team effort, hard work, and enjoyment.

Everyone's desire, determination, dedication and discipline made our success possible.

This, our first season together, was a fantastic journey that I really enjoyed, with highs and lows, victories and defeats, but that's part of the learning experience and I would never forget the changes and challenges that we went through, and how we grew together.

Thanks everyone for the enormous help and support, specially Brad Greentree who during the initials days helped with his experience and advise to built this team. To our manager the Big Fella Warren Locke for his tireless help and voice in and out the field, for the newsletter, a great idea that contributed enormously to keep everyone on the same page. Stephen Holzapfel for his time and dedication coaching the boys. Billy Hodges, for his commitment strapping and helping the boys when it was required. Our trainers Peter and Tony who where responsible for our players hydration every time they needed it during our games. Our touch ref, Tony Lyndon. our ball and kicking tee boys, and all our parents, who believed and supported me and my project since day one.

Also to all parents who have voluntarily raised their hands to tireless help with the coordination of fundraising, sponsorship and communications for the London-Paris Tour 2012, specially Cheryl Williams, Kate Holpzafel, Rick Leadbetter.

We will come back next year, stronger, faster, more committed and ready to embrace new challenges and win. 2012 is a very important year for all of us, We got the London-Paris tour, a fantastic project, a life experience, a rugby trip that we will not forget, and to make it possible it is vital to have everyone's help and support, with hard work, sacrifice and commitment.

We will also play the season with the only idea of developing and improving our performance as individuals and as a team to win games and therefore the grand final.

And hopefully to get more players involved in the 2012 Brisbane North Rep team.


This year we finished strong with a victory in our sight


Thank you all,
