Wombats ahead on many levels

THE Olympics have created a lot of sleep deprivation in recent weeks, but they’re also inspiring a new generation of footballers through the play of our Socceroos and Matildas.
As the regular season winds down, a number of Cooroora United teams are getting ready to play the most important games of the season.
Last week, a few of the teams got together Cooroy Community Bank’s Geoff Edwards to say thanks. More than 200 club members are wearing training shirts supplied by the bank – one of the many ways Bendigo Bank continues to support the Wombats.
Cooroora United president Tony McCarthy took the time to thank branch manager Geoff Edwards for the Community Bank’s long-term support to the local club faithful for their part in a season that has seen the club move ahead on many levels.
“We all know that sponsors play a key role in supporting a team and the Cooroy Community Bank branch sponsorship of Cooroora United is one of many who continue to help us playing the game we love. The bank has provided us with a lot of help on and off the field over the past seven years and our club is on a real high right now,” Tony said.
“The players are working really hard at all age levels, and it’s wonderful to see the results. To see so many of our teams out there enjoying their football is terrific for the volunteers who put so much time into the club,” he added.
