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...
