Eagle News #8 - Woodville Heritage Day + Jumper Auction Info

[MightyEagles]

We are really pleased that so many of the players of the winning 88 Escort Cup team have been able to confirm their attendance tommorow at Woodville for the WOODVILLE HERITAGE DAY.

Looking forward to seeing and hearing stories from folk like Ian Dettman, Gary Haylock, Steve Jacquier, John Martin, Des O'Dwyer, Trevor Pierson, Peter Schwarze, Ralph Sewer & Stuart Totham. We expect few more Woodville greats to attend too.

That's good, but there's no e at the end of Schwarz, I should know as his dad is my Doctor and he's youngest Sister was in my class for a couple years.

Sounds like a good day to be had by all at Oval Ave tomorrow. GO THE WARRIORS or is that THE EAGLES. Oh hang on at least for tomorrow it is the WARRIORS.

Hope the chap with the coffee van is there tomorrow...always looks after me with a nice hot cuppa. The BBQ is a ripper too...

[centrecirclelegend]

maybe Ralphy can recite the night he and a certain female did their thing in front of a few and it cost the bar manager his job when later asked what happened ........when somebody complained........"I know nuthin"!

I saw it and it "Blew" me away!

Couldn't believe my eyes!

The bar manager saw it too......

Thanks SJABC.

On eBay after the game - last in the series of heritage jumpers for Woodville (or West Torrens) - Dont miss out.

Thanks to Hills for the logo placement to maintain the integrity of the original WARRIOR jumper.

I've often wondered about this point, but never really thought of the right place to ask it, but what i was wondering was of the regular WWT supporters on this site, which of you guys followed Woodville before 91 and which barracked for West Torrens? I know you're all the one club now, and i realise your future is as WWT, so not trying to be controversial or disrespectful, just wondering..

Leader Woodville Cheer Squad 1987-1990.

Have now been an Eagles supporter (1991-2008 18 years) longer than I was a Woodville supporter (1978-1990 13 years)

Very disapointed I will miss the game today (alas LifeFM is at Norwood).

Certainly will be taping it and engaging in my first ever e-bay auction to get a warriors jumper.

Thought the Warriors guernsey looked rubbish back then but it actually looks fantastic now - ahead of their time like the Jetsons

[Jimmy]

Just quoting you zip zap due to the jumper .
My 19 yo who never saw either team play pre merger remarked on the clash jumper and the warrior jumper appearing similar.

To be fair, whenever we have had heritage days to honour our foundation clubs we have invited players from a winning group. The West Torrens team that won the Escort Cup have been our guests as were the Woodville lads today.

It was great to hear some of the stories being retold and good to see Freddy Bills setting records straight! Was an excellent day - a win to the WWTFC Eagles whilst honouring the WFC Warriors.
