The first stage of pre-season is in the books!

A nice way to cap off the first stage of preseason training for our Senior and some junior teams last night with some schnags and a chinwag.

Great also to welcome back some familiar faces, in JJ Cristaudo and Carlo Graziano, the latter after a lengthy lay off, and JJ coming off another year of his football degree, having successfully assisted Glynn Matthey with the Thirds. A keen student of the game, JJ returns for his first shot at senior football.

And, pending a clearance, we also welcome the big fella Mark ‘Trick’ Nikolic to Charles Mutton Reserve for 2020.

Mark follows buddies Jason and Aaron from our neighbour, St. Alban’s in search of consistent senior action and has already impressed the group with his voice and leadership qualities.

Mark is a key defender and back up ruckman, both important positions to fill.

Welcome Mark.

And to all that attended and or helped during preseason, from the Northern Saints committee we thank you and look forward to seeing you fit and healthy when we start back.

Go the Saints!
