Round 2 saw excellent results across the board for the Bombers. In a first for the club, all five teams (Seniors, Reserves, Under 19s, Thirds and Netball) recorded wins.

The Thirds started the day with an excellent win against Cheltenham. The Under 19s then followed and got the four points also against Cheltenham. The netballers went 3-0 in grading. The reserves had a super win against Springvale Districts and the seniors rounded out the day with a nail-biting win against Springvale Districts.

A big thank you to all clubs who hosted our teams over the weekend and another huge thank you to all volunteers who offered up their time to assist us on the weekend. It is truly very much appreciated.

The five wins created a great vibe throughout the club rooms for our annual dress up night. It was pleasing to see a lot of new faces dressed up and fitting in really well. A great night was held by all. Thank you to our social manager, Rhiannon Sebire, for organising the event.

What a fantastic start to the season! It was great to see everyone down at the hangar on Saturday watching as all four sides took the field across the day. It made for a sensational atmosphere.

The thirds started the day and kicked the dew off the ground with a win against Cerberus. The under 19s followed and fought hard, but were unfortunately beaten by Chelsea Heights.

Prior to the reserves match, the club was excited and proud to raise the 2013 Division 2 Reserves premiership flag. It was a great moment for the club in it's short history. The reserves then took the field and played a very consistent game that produced a convincing win against Hampton.

As The Last Post played through the speakers, the Australian flag flew at half mast. After a minute silence and the oath, the seniors commenced and treated the crowd to a thrilling match, aslo against Hampton. It was close all day until a couple of late goals got the boys across the line.

Full match reports from the coaches will be uploaded this week.

Our netball girls came away with their second win of the year against Mt Waverley. They are looking strong and are bonding very well so far. We want to keep encouraging them to attend club events so if you see them around, please introduce yourself and try to get to a couple of games during the year. We want them to feel welcome.

On top of everything else that was happening, we also managed to squeeze in our sponsors day. We had a few attend which was great. It was also good to share the luncheon with club & committee members.

A big thank you to everyone who helped out with setting up and running the day. It is very much appreciated. The on-field and off-field success of this week has set the club up for a sensational season. Let's now set our sights on Round 2 and Springvale Districts!

Don't forget that this Saturday, the under 19s will be taking on Parkdale at Gerry Green Reserve in Parkdale. The game starts at 10am. No seniors sides have a practice match on that day so please make the effort to head over and support the young guys.

Unfortunately, the netball practice match fell through so we are desperately trying to arrange one for the week. We want to show them all the support that we can and make them feel welcome at the Hangar!

This Saturday will see the Skye boys venturing up through the Yarra Ranges to play their second practice match against Yea FC. This is the first time that both sides have met in a practice match since 2011. We hope that all Skye supporters can find their way up there to cheer the boys on. We also need volunteers to assist throughout the day.

Reserves @ 12pm
Seniors @ 2pm

For those who cannot make the trip, our netballers are almost certain to play their first practice match. The arrangements are last minute so we will post details as soon as they come to light. It will be a local game so we encourage everyone to make the effort to attend the game. We have had a terrific response in regards to the number of girls registering to play. We want to show them all the support that we can and make them feel welcome at the Hangar!

Footy is back! Our first practice match is THIS SATURDAY against Carrum-Patterson Lakes at the hangar.

Under 19s start at 9:30am
Reserves start at 11:30am
