Great season for young Dragons

By TANIA PHILLIPS

ANOTHER successful season has come to an end for Eumundi Dragons Junior Rugby Club.
President, Doug Toms, took time to thank the club faithful and sponsors at their presentation day last weekend.
“Like most clubs, our season began with our sign on day in February and our wonderful committee has really put in the hard yards for us in 2015,” Doug said.
“I’m really proud of the improvement of so many of our players – that’s the greatest reward of all.
“The enthusiasm of our coaches, managers and volunteers has provided so much benefit to our players and we’re very grateful for all they’ve done,” he added.
Cooroy Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank’s Geoff Edwards was warmly welcomed and thanked for his support.
Geoff announced the bank would support the club again in 2016, ensuring junior rugby will continue to be played in the Noosa Hinterland community.
“We really appreciate the support of the Cooroy Community Bank this season and it’s great to know they’ll be on board with us again next season,” Doug said.
“Geoff and his team are so great to work with and their sponsorship allows us to offer support for all lovers of the game they play in heaven.”
Those sentiments were echoed by Geoff.
“We’re delighted to give the kids an opportunity to stay fit, learn more about this great game and have lots of fun at the same time,” he said.
“Let’s hope even more local businesses sign on and get involved in supporting the Dragons in 2016.”
With that in mind, Doug called on any boys and girls of all age groups who would be interested in joining the club next year to get in touch with the club.
They can do this through the Eumundi Dragons Junior Rugby Club website www.eumundidragons.rugbynet.com or by calling Doug on 0410 507 927.
