Wasn’t Saturday a great day for the Coota Blues!
To have four games of football on Clarke Oval with players from five to 56 was a great effort.
The crowd was the biggest seen at Clarke Oval for years, especially pleasing given the cold and rainy weather.
To everyone who contributed to the success of the day, well done.

The Barnes family are so appreciative at the turnout and support last Saturday.
Money is still coming in to help get Adam to Russia however as of Tuesday night the fundraising from Saturday had climbed to $5300.
Funds were raised through the bar, barbecue, auction, raffle and gate takings.
Even the Blues opposing women’s side Eastlake passed the hat around.

This Saturday, the Blues women are off to Ainslie.
Their commitment turning up every Saturday and to five training sessions a fortnight, despite being well-beaten, is to be commended.
