Blues Brief - Christmas Edition

CHRISTMAS BARBEQUE There was a fantastic turnout for the final social function of the year, with about 40 players and supporters gathering by the banks of the Yarra for the annual Blues Christmas Barbeque. The pre-Christmas training sessions appear to be paying off with players in great nick for this time of the year. Well done to all who helped organise the event, and thanks for your attendance.  

NEW RESERVES COACH APPOINTED One gentleman spotted enjoying his yuletide sausage-in-bread was newly appointed Reserves Coach, Mark Maddocks. Despite a playing career with the 'other Blues' out at Monash, Mark is not a total stranger to the Uni Blues family; he's had two sons who've recently come through the Under 19s, and over the past few years Mark has been a familiar face over at the Crawford as he's been supporting Unders coaches Steve Carroll, Ben Covelli and Matt Embling. The Mighty Blues Twos are an integral part of the University Blues Football Club, with an outstanding record of both premiership success, and consistently providing the senior team with fit and committed players ready to go. We welcome Mark to the fold and wish him every success as we endeavour to continue that strong reserves tradition. Congratulations Mark!  

SUPERCOACH GUNGA STANDS DOWN With a coaching record that makes Sir Alex Ferguson look like Gerard Neesham, Damien Guengerich has hung up his clipboard. Two seasons, two premierships, Gunga engineered great onfield success, and took the reserves coaching position to a new level of professionalism. A 2004 A Grade premiership player who has been involved with the club since 1996, Gunga is taking a well-earned break as he and wife Mandy look forward to the arrival of their first child in early February.

PRESENTATION NIGHT

On Friday, 23rd October, Lincoln of Toorak hosted Uni Blues' 2009 Presentation Dinner.  It was an evening upon which the achievements of the season were celebrated and individual performances recognized.

Chief amongst these was the life membership bestowed on the evergreen George de Crespigny, a great servant of the club both on and off the field for many seasons.

The Chris Brown trophy for best clubman was awarded to John Carmody and the tireless Tom Granleese was the winner of the Ted McNamara Award for Best Team Player.

Mark "The General" Paterson took out the Senior Best & Fairest while the Reserves award was shared by Issac Orr and Ben Millard.

Ben McConnell was runner up for the Seniors Best and Fairest, but received plenty of consolation when he beat a tough field to take out the evening's other major award the BBDFA (Brian Blood Disservice to Fashion Award).

Blues Twos Go Back-to-Back!

The Mighty Uni Blues Twos have reversed a comprehensive 2nd Semi-Final defeat at the hands of Old Xavarians with a dominant victory in the 2009 A-Reserve Grand Final.

Players and fans arrived to a Sportscover Arena bathed in sunlight with a light sea breeze - a perfect day for football. The Mighty Uni Blues Twos were looking to defend their 2008 title against a slick Old Xaverian outfit. Xavs went into the Grand Final as favourites thanks to a 49 point win over the Blues in the 2nd Semi-Final but some big ins for the Blues had supporters quietly confident. When Kenny Rogers wroteThe Gambler , he didn't have the comprehensive nature of the 2nd
