The first Carnival for our All Abilities Merriwa Magpies was held in Wodonga on Sunday the 28th of May, teams competing were us the Merriwa Magpies, Wodonga Jets, Echuca Rockets and GV All Stars, each team played one another in a round robin competition. The Merriwa Magpies won the carnival by defeating all other teams on the day, the boys played really well and showed their skills that Bob Murray has been teaching them over the last few months at training on a Thursday night at the Norm Minns Oval. We had 23 players who showed great sportsmanship and talent, so congratulations team on winning the first medals of this years competition. Big thank you to our coaches Bob Murray and Georgie Waite, our support staff in John Mullins and Mal Moncrieff.

Bart Crawley CEO of Merriwa Industries came and watched the team play and was very impressed with their skills. Thank you to  Bart and Merriwa for being our major sponsor.

Our next Carnival will be in Echuca on Sunday the 25th of June. Looking forward to more wins and great play by our team. Ros Taylor team manager WFNC Merriwa Magpies.

Calling all supporters of the Club to pay their memberships so the Club can thrive and survive.

Also we need as many people to volunteer during the 2017 season in a variety of roles needed each game day, so please jump on board and help out, if everyone did a couple of days a year it makes a huge difference, see one of the Club’s board members to place your name on the volunteer list, you will make fantastic friends – share the load and everyone enjoys their time at the WFNC.

First call to arms for volunteers.

We need members to volunteer to work in the canteen on the 28th of January at the Wangaratta Sports Carnival, if you can give us 2 hours of your time, please contact one of the board members or email the club at wmagpies@bigpond.net.au.
