Hi All PDFC Facebook family
Wow….what a season 2022 has turned out to be. The 1st Div 1 Premiership in 30 years, how unbelievable!
This long overdue result has brought so much happiness to so many people, players, coaches, committee and club members, and supporters. Amongst the fantastic celebration at the club on premiership night, there were people in disbelief, and some overcome with emotion, and of course a lot of happiness. With a result of this magnitude for our club, there are so many people to thank for their contributions this year and past.
To our senior coach Josh Ramsey and his assistants Leigh Whitehorn, Rick Kelly, Rob “Tank” Thompson, Mark Ravo, Damien Gallacher, list manager Damien Angove, Team Manager Peter Gaffney, Footy Operations Shaun Mousley and runners Jeremy Clayton, Darren Perry and Louis Sharrad.
To the 38 players that played A grade this year, from seasoned regulars to new recruits and debutants.
To Sean Baker of PEAQ Fitness that also agreed to join us late last year to help prepare and manage the players towards our planned vision for success. Your commitment, positivity, motivation and enthusiasm is infectious.
Thank you to all the support staff including our head trainer Leigh Adams, and trainers Sandy and Kimia.
To our past senior coach Simon Madden and his assistants Damien Angove, Darren Perry and Nathan McDowell on how well they developed this group over the past few years.
To the executive committee members that work tirelessly as volunteers, Vice President – Darren Hawkins, Treasurer – Lisa Greig, Secretary – John Charles, Junior President – David Rose, Peter Gaffney, Ken Gregory and Bob Raymond.
Thank you to all the existing sponsors for your continued support, and for the new sponsors for joining our club this year.
To the Largs Legends – Rohan Smith & Barry “Porky” Poole. To Chris White and his team of merry men of volunteers that every week, carry out many jobs that us as committee members couldn’t find the time due to busy work lives, and run the BBQ and outdoor pop up bars on Saturdays, and also to the general members.
Special thanks to Kym Stegmeyer for all the wonderful photos and memories that are posted on Facebook each week….you’re a legend.
Thanks to all the families of the players and the supporters that continually got behind the players and the club.
The memories of this premiership will forever remain with most of us to cherish.
