Do you like Squash ?

Sundays 5 pm to 7pm at Wyong Courts. As discussed with us previously, Shadow has organised and will have spare racquets each week. $10 per person on a round robin basis. The 4 courts are open to all attendees so no need to book. I will be going most Sundays if anyone needs a lift. Warning. Stretch your hammies first!! Thanks Shadow for this.

The Relics- Record AGM Attendance of 15

At the recent Relics Annual General Meeting (or end of season trip) a record attendance of 15 members or 88% was recorded.

The following matters were resolved:

• Coach 2012 Ian (Wiz) George


• Manager Vic (Darchinyan) Iribarne (with help as required)


• Beer Wench Tony (Smokey) Butwell


• Social Director Greg (Howler) Howell


• Captain To be appointed by Coach and Team at start of training

Other items of general business decided were:

Playing Shirts - Grant and Steve presented about new style playing strips with future ability for us to order personalised matching polos. We will organise new strips with spares for future. They will be numbered but not personalised in a coolmax material. Existing club shorts and socks to be used.

Number 10 will be retired for this season in honour of Statue. and we'll wear black arm bands for our first comp match.

Training - Desire to start kicking in early January, possibly Wednesday nights with venue to be decided. Team expressed a desire to do more skill based work in pre season.

Keeper - Team desire to have a full time dedicated keeper for every game. Howler to approach a mate. Watch this space.

Post AGM events were enjoyed by all, including cards, golf at Horizons, dancing, bragging and a little bit of drinking. Thanks in particular to Phil for organising the golf and allowing Howler to play with a champion (me)!

Hi Guys,

Getting close now, 2 course meal plus free drink with cake for dessert. The band this year will be Jellyfish.

Bring your cameras and take some pictures, you can if you like put them on the Blog or send them to me and I will do it for you. Thanks Grant for volunteering on the mic. 

P.s. Men in Black is the theme, so get your black suits or alien costumes out and lets have some fun.

Vale Statue !

What a sad post to make. The Relics are shattered at the news that one of our own, Steven "Statue" Dunlop has passed away in Indonesia whilst on holidays. Contrary to earlier reports, I now understand that his wife Glenda is on the spot. Our deepest sympathy goes to Glenda, their son Angus and their extended family. Statue has been with the Kincumber club for 13 years and has been an integral part of the Relics. His contributions to our blogs have been numerous. He's always volunteered to help at parties and only last weekend, at Micks 50th, shared with us a stack of photos from last year's end of season trip. Above is a smattering of shots, showing him earning his nick name but also helping us all enjoy life. Steve had a wonderful right foot kick, a delicious temper on the few occasions he fired up at the opposition, and we all knew he had our back on the field.

Vale Steven, we shall miss you greatly. Hat.

Super Coach & Grand Finals Updates-Relics are Great Supporters

It would be remiss of us not to mention our own super Coach, Jeff (Tolly) Towler whose under 15C boys won their grand final a week ago. Josh had a fine game, with the team scoring off a wonderful corner from him early in the game. Coach Tolly had just about eaten his fingers to the stumps at half time. It was wonderful to see at least 10 of the Relics there supporting Josh as he has supported us during the season. Also this Sunday, The Relics were again out in force to watch Ian and Dave Cullens daughters, Sian and Heidi in the Womens Under 14A grand final at Pluim. Unfortunately Kincumber lost, but both girls had great games. The biggest effort was seeing so many Relics out early, considering Micks second 50th party the night before. Grant prepared his fabulous KimChi (pickled cabbage) and a mild? capsicum sauce. I observed the non experienced wolfing it down with sausages, I bet they are sorry now !

The Esky Needs Help- Training Wednesday night

Hi Guys. Owing to missing so many training nights during the season our kitty is lighter than usual. To help remedy this situation I propose a run again this Wednesday night, usual time and venue. Frost will be open for two of the Womens teams. See you there. Flemo

End of Season Booked

Thanks for the season guys, despite the season ending earlier than I expected it has been and is always a pleasure to play for the Relics.

Weekend of 11th - 13th November, same location as last year.

Includes 3 nights, but this year we have 4 units ( a bed for everyone ).

Annual Changeing of the Guard for 2012 at Shoal Bay RSL 12th Nov.

Manager ( above average performance ), Coach ( Poor peformance and record ) , Captain( inspiring as usual ), Beer Bitch ( started out slow but came home strong ) and Trainer ( a non-existant low performance based on promises last year )

Ramon and Flour have been notified

I've already forgotten it !

DB's comment that we will remember the game for a while doesn't apply to me. I've already forgotten it, but what I won't forget in a hurry is the pain and sadness that this season has already ended. It's been a bugger of a year, shortened season, interrupted by continual rain, very little training and every we time we just started playing well, more interruptions. Yesterday was one of the days that no matter how much I wanted it, and just how much I tried I couldn't put my mark on the game. I'm sorry for being so quiet after the game, but I was gutted, I so wanted to be playing next weekend.
However on the positive side, what I will never forget is the continual joy I get from playing with such a great team of guys, very few ill words and lots of positive reinforcement. The fond memories of captaining our team will always be with me. But, we already need to look forward to next year and our lineup. As part of that, you need a new on field leader, someone who can inspire from the front, I've been very proud to be captain but it's time for somebody new, as my devotion is needed elsewhere.

Regards Hat
