Congratulations to the Miners Development Squad 2011 with Coaches Daniel Pollard, Peter Frerker and Matt Dawson leading them to the Semi Finals this weekend against the Buccs on Saturday.

Last Saturday the boys played the buccs and just lost 36 to 40, so they may well be in with a chance this weekend.  Good luck guys.

Ildiko Gregory is a personal trainer who decided to spice up her routine at the Australasian Natural Body Building competition recently by wearing some of the Miners gridiron gear and uniform. Hopefully we will see Ildiko down in the preseason to put the boys through some fitness drills. POW!

Thanks to all that attended the 2011 Trivia Night and made it a successful night at Berwick Springs Hotel.

Most of the attendees made the most of the “M” theme on the Night, with a Mexican being the most popular. We also had Mario, Muskateer, Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Men in Black, Monks, Mad Hatter, Mechanics, Maintenance workers, Mother Christmas, Maid, Mother and Baby, M & M’s, Molly and Mr T.

The winner of the Female “M” theme was Carol Pontil-Scala as Marge from the Simpsons and the winner of the Male “M” theme was Jackson Marchetti ( Junior Player) as a Massive Football.

Host Mel Martin dressed up as Mario.

The Winners of the Trivia night who took out the grand prize were ” The Black Princes of Berwick” lead by Jesse Sporton.

Thanks all that attended it was a fun night.

The Development squad is now 4 and 2 with last Sundays win against the Crusaders.

Next week the guys play the Rangers at Geelong at 2pm on SATURDAY 19 November.
