New Recruits

The Frankston YCW Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of two new players in Byron Barry & Lew Roberts for Season 2010.

Lew Roberts

Lew was brought up near Wagga Wagga NSW. Lew played local footy, starting his senior football career as a 16 year old. Lew represented NSW as part of the RAMS side in 1999 and 2000 finishing Runners Up Best and Fairest in 2000. At 17 Lew moved to Adelaide and played for Port Magpies and worked as a Football Development Officer. Following the illness of his grandmother Lew moved back closer to home playing footy in Canberra for the Queanbeyan Tigers where he won the League Rookie of the Year in his first year and also was an AFL Canberra Rep. He was also named in the team of the year in 2003 and 2004. A move to Melbourne 3 years later saw Lew playing at Noble Park Footy Club where he won the Recruit of the Year. Most recently, Lew has joined YCW after 3 years at the Edithvale Aspendale FC where he played in the last 2 grand finals and won their club’s Best and Fairest in 2008. We extend a very warm welcome to Lew, his partner Kelly Holt and their daughter Maggie.

Byron Barry

Bryon has joined YCW as an assistant coach after spending the last 5 years at the Frankston Dolphins where he managed to clock up 74 senior games. Byron played the majority of his junior footy with YC juniors before crossing to Seaford in the under 16’s then played Under 18 footy with Karingal before joining the Dolphins. We wish Byron and girlfriend Rachel Jackson a long and happy association with the Frankston YCW Football Club.

Benny Poole took out the YCW Football Club Senior Best & Fairest for 2009 after a close contest with runner up Brad Ulms, while Andrew Taylor won his third Reserve Best & Fairest in four years with daylight …excuse me… David Bodley runner up.

This Sunday brings and end to season 2009 in what has been a great year for the club

Our Under 18 meet Mornington in the Under 18 Grand Final for the fourth time this year hoping to make it a clean sweep and go thru the season undefeated a feat only accomplished by the 1976 under 17 side. As the sides in the last 2 games have  only been separated by a total of  3 points another  down to the wire , drag em out, last man standing affair can be expected due to the evenness of the sides.  For the Coaches views and the Teams..hit..bring home the bacon !!

BJ solid as always in defence
