2011/12 Awards Presentation

We're on the eve of our very first Awards Presentation that will serve to celebrate the tremendous achievements we've clocked up as a Club, as well as provide the opportunity of honouring those members who have shown exceptional performance and strength of character during the season.  All of which has allowed Titans to develop into a unit of worth.  Of particularl significance, and one which bears tremendous pride, was taking the 4th league in the 2011/12 season.  Even with all the teething hiccups experienced, we doggedly remained attuned to the course we set for ourselves and when the chips were down came together in spectacular fashion to pip our opponents to the post for this much coveted accolade.

The Events Committee are feverishly at work with putting the logistics in place for the presentation so that come the night of the event our members can enjoy themselves and hopefully come away with the feeling of being part of something meaningful and rewarding.  Notwithstanding just having a lekka jol and good old fun.  So don those hard hats, safety boots, overalls and pick up the spades, shovels and wheelbarrows so that we can continue building a team that "though under construction" will be a monument to greatness in time to come.  Till the 30th then...

End of a season...

It’s hard to believe we've come to the end of the 2011/12 season; harder yet to believe we've ended the season as victors of the 4th Division! When the idea of starting a new club was born in April last year, we had no idea of the possibilities involved. Who would have thought our little dream would evolve into something as big and awesome at it has?!! 

The season has been peppered by moments of joy, exhilaration and tremendous highs; but there have also been times where frustration, anger, disappointment and untold pain have taken hold and marred what could otherwise be described as a phenomenal debut season.

We have seen members grow tremendously in spirit and ability.  On the other hand there've been members who've questioned their value and place in the Team, who've reached decided lows and have since terminated their involvement with the Club.  Their loss to Titans is not one which we take lightly.  Rather the lessons learned from these unfortunate departures will have to serve as the basis for remedying the apparent flaws in our systems and policies that have consequently come to light. 

Of the 16 games played this season, we won 12, lost 3 and drew 1 - ending the season on 25 points and ultimately securing the top spot.  A huge feat for an entry level team.  In this time we’ve also purchased an entire complement of equipment, full playing kit for all our members as well as met our financial obligations in terms of season and membership fees to WPSF (one of the few clubs to be fully paid up and compliant). 

We’ve further seen our membership base grow from 8 players to 15.  All in all the achievements have been many and we should pride ourselves on having stuck to our mettle without compromising the standards we hold dear. 

What can be said however is that we should not lose the element of fun and camaraderie in our quest of trying to stay ahead of the pack.  To this end, we look towards the new season with the idea of incorporating more social and team building events.  Where the technicalities of the game becomes secondary to the enjoyment of self and getting to know our fellow team mates on a more relaxed basis.

As a worthy end to a glorious season, an Awards Presentation Gala Evening is planned towards the end of April in acknowledgement of the spectacular achievements and acumen displayed by our members.  More details of the actual event will follow shortly so watch this space...
