IT MAY take two teams of 18 players to make magic on the footy field, but one of our local clubs has been doing that for the past 42 years.
The Cooroy/Pomona and District Australian Rules Football Club continue to be a proud and successful club in our community, and this season isn’t any different.
The Demons proudly wear the blue and yellow colours wherever they go, and an amazing committee of volunteers continues to actively promote health, fitness, teamwork and fun among their players, families and supporters.
Club registrar Sue Hobbs says it’s the development of younger grades that feeds the club’s success.
“We like to think we’re one of the friendliest clubs around. So many families have come to play here and have stayed. It’s part of our Demons culture and that’s what makes a successful footy club I think,” Sue said.
“We have with junior teams from under 6s through to under 17s, competitive seniors teams and we roundoff with our entertaining and slightly slower-paced Masters team.
The Demons, like all clubs need help to keep things rolling by attracting sponsors to the club, and recently they welcomed their newest one in the form of Bendigo Bank.
Having recently opened its Pomona Agency in town to join its very successful Cooroy Community Bankbranch, Sue, the 2015 committee and players welcomed manager Geoff Edwards to training last week tom spend time with those who make the magic happen.
“We’re extremely grateful to Geoff and his team at Bendigo Bank for sponsoring us in 2015. Their contribution has assisted us in providing up- to-date training and game day equipment for our teams. It’s also great to be sponsored by those who are as passionate about our community as we are and give so much back,” Sue added.
Geoff Edwards said he saw the sponsorship of the Demons as a great fit.
“I’ve had a blast getting to know club members these past few months. The Demons are made up of great people who have built their club from the ground up. From the playing fields to the clubhouse and everywhere in between, the club is filled with energy and pride. We see this sponsorship as a great way to support the club now and in the seasons ahead,” Geoff said.
