WEDNESDAY NIGHT TRAINING
The shared training night has been a massive hit with players, coaches and families alike. It has been fantastic for the younger teams to get the opportunity to train alongside the more experienced teams and also allows the older players to support and encourage those newer to the game.
The club is hoping that training can continue on a Wednesday night for the rest of the season.
Making sausages available to purchase on the night has been very successful and we are happy to announce that following our cheese toasty trials they are here to stay. Our coffee machine is back, just in time for those cooler winter training sessions. So now you can also enjoy a hot chocolate, latte or even a cappuccino while supporting your team.
Coaches Update

HOLIDAY TRAINING
U9s, U12s U14G and Seniors Training will continue as normal throughout the school holidays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Preliminary Cup Round Update
There were thrills and spills aplenty during the AHJSA preliminary cup round at Woodside last Saturday.
Woodside U12s moved on to the next round with a dramatic victory over Sterling District. Following a very even match, Woodside eventually won 3-2 in a nail biting penalty shoot-out.
Also going through into the next round are the U16s who had a convincing 11-0 win against Strathalbyn.
Our seniors team put up a good fight against Division 2 Christian Brothers College but our Division 5 team came up short, losing 7-0.

Canteen Helpers We would love to see more parents, grandparents and friends getting involved with helping to run our club - and one of the easiest places to start is in the canteen. Funds from the canteen go directly back into improving our club and its facilities and we would love to see the canteen become the hub of the club. We are currently looking for people to help out for an hour while the canteen is open both on training night and while games are being played. If you feel you can help or if you would like more information about what is involved then either speak to someone in the canteen on Wednesdays (we dont bite well, at least not very often) or send Linda, our Canteen Manger, an email at lindacrossing@yahoo.com.au
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to play this season then registration needs to be completed and fees paid before the beginning of the AHJSA League Round 1 which is on Saturday May 3 rd 2014.
