The Wonderful World of Winter Sports

Shaun Lawry • April 22, 2013

Trent Collins, Reece Collins, Shaun Lawry

Around these parts, sport, in particular, football is an institution. Not in a Texas High School, Friday Night Lights kind of way, but we love our footy and netball here, and a few of us in the GMG office are no exception to the rule. Now I'm not going to bang on about arguably what many of us consider to be the best club on the planet - COLLINGWOOD, but I will tell you a little bit about my new club, Charlton.

The Charlton Football club is actually made up of the Charlton Football, Hockey & Netball Club and brings together a range of great characters from around the town and district. The club have been fantastic in welcoming myself, my wife Teagan & our 2 children into their community. My future brother in-law, Reece Collins is the coach of the senior football team, Leanne Gretgrix is the senior coach of the hockey team & Tessa Burton is the coach of the A grade netball team.

The first 2 rounds have seen this old boy kick a few goals before running out of steam, but that's just due to what I thought was a massive pre-season, but turns out the work rate might not be at where it used to be! The senior football , A grade netball & the senior hockey teams are all 2 wins from 2 games. All teams have had an even contribution right across the board but there's still a few areas that need improvement.

Have you ever been to Charlton? Have you ever seen a hockey game played at the same place as football and netball? If you answered NO to any, or all of these, I have the solution for you…….. COME TO CHARLTON FOOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlton Football Club (inc Netball & Hockey Clubs) are holding a sponsorship and family day on the 4 ^th of May, it is a home game VS Boort. Come along & enjoy a great day out!

Dont forget to drop into GMG Accountings new office located in the main street of Charlton! Myself & Jess Round visit the office every Thursday!
