With six weeks left to the start of the Old Scholars Football season, the team is looking good. We have had over 55 participants at training and the team has been working hard on their fitness and game style.
DOSA have picked up new Assistant Coaches Jake Briggs and Gareth Delaney from Statewide team Hobart City. Their experience and skill set will hopefully propel the club the next step in the Old Scholars Football competition.
We are also happy to announce a number of Old Scholars returning to the ranks, including Sam Sharp, Jacob Howard, Trent Henderson, Liam Wakefield, Damon Curtain, Tom and Joe Doyle.
Practice matches against SFL teams Claremont and Hobart are coming up during March, as well as the Rooster Road Trip (overnight training camp).
The season will start on 8 April at the TCA against Hutchins. Our DOSA legend Brendan ‘Snowy’ Loveless will break the games record currently held by another DOSA Legend Tom ‘TJ’ Jarvis. Everyone in the extended DOSA family is invited to see and share this unbelievable moment in the history of our club.
Following that game, the Roosters will venture to Richmond on Thursday night 13 April (before the Easter Weekend) for a night game.
Social Memberships are now available for supporters who wish to attend some games and support the Club. Please contact club president Luke Golding on 0408 337 401 to purchase a membership.
2017 will truly be the Year of the Rooster!
