Ovingham Sports and Social Club 2009

[aceman]

Just looked through the SAAFL yearbook at the Premiership photos and came aross the Ovingham photo.
Now do they really look like a team of 'finely tuned' athletes or something out of Hogans Heroes?

Those finely tuned athletes came from 20 points down at 3qtr time against an undefeated side in the gf.More to footy than just running around

I've just had the privilige of seeing the same photo and the big fella lying on his back at the front is either Sargeant Schultz or his twin brother. Which is it?

You're right there Wattle.A lot more to footy than just running around.Spoke to Klompy the other day and he said he's happily retired.I wonder how Ovies will get on in Div 7 without him?Especially now that Rhino has left to play for Kilburn.What are your thoughts?

[the tyre man]

so im hearing the numbers arnt looking to flash. is this correct or a lie. and a ground. are u still using the same one or have u had to move

[04 Premiership Coach]

Bloody big news.Just spoke with the great Klompy and he tells me the boys at Reynella are in his ear to go back for a kick.He reckons with unfinished business after losing a GF out there,the offer is pretty tempting.Plus the ground is two mins from his house.Not a bad pickup for the club if it happens.

I am hearing conflicting stories about Cane Reserve too. Anyone got anything to add?

According to a Broadies junior Dad their looking at an ex school oval in North Adelaide, so that'd leave only Blackfriars primary teams to train & play there on a Saturday morning.

So what is happening on Churchill Road at Cane Reserve on the odd Saturday during football season this year?
Obviously with no news from Catland, has the ground been seconded by the Renown Park Polo Club for Saturday games of mixed polo?

It would be a great sight, horses thundering up and down the ground, a rider letting go with a solid drive of the "puck" from centre half forward into the net. "Here, here chaps, a mighty fine effort that", the well educated crowd will exclaim as they drink chardonnay from crystal goblets, their Mercs, Jeeps & Audis parked impeccably facing the train line.

Something different from the past Saturdays I know, but one can only imagine this new venture since we have nothing further to report about that 'barbaric' game of Aussie rules from the incumbent group sometimes referred to as 'gypsies'.

I say, pretty spiffy eh! Let the games begin!

Heard that numbers on Tuesday were light on, only about 11 players. Not quite enough for 2 teams I would have thought!

chardonnay?
at the polo?
one knows one drinks a frisky vintage billecourt from riedel flutes at polo.

Too small for polo - right size for croquet

i heard roger Jurina is leaving.

Yeh right, Im pretty sure that was the rumour at the end of last year.. He then played in our premiership on the weekend and enjoyed mad monday with us all. If Roger doesnt play at Ovingham next year I would suggest it is because of a serious knee injury his carrying..

Thats right, i will not be going anywhere and i'm confident that my knee will be right for the start of next year... And Hoody, your a D**khead. I'll see you and your bro's at Ovingham next year.

Great news for the club hes a gun footballer and a nice guy off the field.Couldnt see many leaving after winning a flag,i no Chris and his boys are known for it but all seem happy and talked about sticking around and helping the club grow and try and move up the grades.[b]Does anyone no the highest grade Ovies have played div 6?[/quote][/b]

Has this prediction come to bear any fruit or was it a bit like "p*ssing into the wind?"
The current story is they'll struggle to fill 1 team let alone the 2 that was being mooted for a fair while, what's happened?

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Whats happening in Ovie world?

No noise from Cataroo defending the sinking ship

Is it so quite because they have folded?

Will some one attend the SAAFL function Friday night?

Is it Time up for them?

cataroo's been gagged cos he's a peanut and causes us trouble!!!

the ship is certainly not sinking. have had a few pull out but we've covered those losses immediately. we are playing a trial tomorrow V West Croydon @ WC oval. we have 30 listed to play. and another bunch who will not be playing. everything is coming together now.

[Choccies]

Well I dont know much about Ovies except for watching a bit of their GF win last year at Hope Valley after our game, but I hope they get 2 sides and have a good year just to stick it up all the knockers.... I'm all for a bit of banter and slagging for a bit of fun but they cop a helluva lot on here (whether that is justified or not I have NFI...) so I hope they do well just to stick it up all of you negative bastards on here !! I'm on the Cats !!

yeah boy!!! get on the cats wagon!!!

So is it all up and ready to go out at the Cats this weeks lads for Round 1 ? Being a lazy bastard, I haven't had a peek as to who you blokes play this week but I'll be following my 'number 2' team with interest !! Go you Catters !!

Choc, we have SHOCS away this week. now out of interest, when you say 'number 2' team, do you refer to excrement or 2nd favourite?!?

[Choccies]

2nd favourite Nugg !! It's obviously GGFC first, then Ovies next mate !! With all the knockers on here someones gotta support you blokes !!
