Hi Pumas, We are proud to announce our Senior & Reserves teams finished ladder leaders so are now 2014 Minor Premiers! On top of this the Pumas have qualified a team in every applicable age group for the 2014 finals series. After checking the records we discovered this has never happened before in the Targets/Pumas history. The club is now seeing the rewards after a major rebuilding phase. This achievement is a great testament to the Committee, Coaches, Parents, Volunteers & most importantly the players. Well done to all!....But the jobs far from done yet....

http://www.gofundme.com/bxd3rc for more information & donate if you can. We pray you get well soon Jayde.
Social Nights Feedback A big thanks to all who sent feedback about the recent adult trivia night & kids disco. Nothing but positive stuff. It was obvious to see on the nights that everyone was having a ball & the subsequent feedback emails & texts reinforced this.
Lost Esky: During the Fill the Hill game a month back a large esky was left outside the canteen doors. If any one knows its current where abouts just ring 0411199008 & let it be known. No questions asked! It was on loan from a parent & we just need it back.
Junior/Youth Presentation Night Dates: We have to wait for the finals to end & then school holidays to conclude. Most teams usually organize separate end of season get togethers during this break so talk to your team manager. However, we then need all junior/youth teams back to the club on:
- Friday October 17 - Junior U6-U11 Presentation Night
- Saturday October 18 - Youth U12-U16 Presentation Night
Please mark these dates in your diary. Every player will receive a trophy & feed.
