The 6.45pm Friday game between Onkas v St. Brendans has been postponed until a date TBC in January on the off chance hundreds of spectators who read SA Footy forums were heading down to watch
On a positive note it means that the grounds will be set up and the gates unlocked in time for the first game this week.
Despite the fact that they are from my club i want to say well done to the Na Fianna girls last week on their work as officials and bar. They supplied the correct amount of competent officials to all games but more importantly manned the bar and kept it open well after the final game taking around $750 which is about $500 more than several of the nights/days i have seen. I think the bar is a huge asset that our association has and if worked correctly can be a great revenue raiser.
I think it was Flinders that put forward the idea of a paid bar manager and based on what i saw what can be done Friday and the fact that we run comps out of St. Marys 4 days a week. I certainly dont think it is a bad idea and whilst it might be a small financial outlay initially i think the benefits will far oytway the costs in the long run. teams like St.Brendans and the Steve Irwins Allstars deserve a Happy hour once a month as well IMO as they are the teams that ensure the bar runs at a profit whilst making sure they never die of thirst.
