Heard that a certain WFL Official is attempting to do something about his fitness! Considered riding a push bike to the footy....when asked what he would do if it rains or blows a gale...hesitated for a moment and replied....will stick with the Statesman!! So much for that!!

On a lighter side heard that one of our senior umpires took his son goat shooting last week and the lad got bitten by a goat. Tit Bit will have to Sleep on that to work out how this happened!!

Whyalla Football is certainly changing since the age group change and the number of youngsters now playing A grade is increasing. The pace of our competition has increased markedly and generally the overall standard has improved. Westies have the youngest side with the majority of their side under 21 and sitting on top of the table. Tit Bit had a bit of a chuckle to himself when he witnessed Westies having a drink after the game in their changerooms and there was far more Coke than Beer being consumed. All sides have good youngsters coming through and the league must take some credit for their commitment to the Development Squad during the summer, where some 30-40 youngsters are given specialist training and development. This work is under taken by Freddy Stringer and his staff is certainly paying off for the standard of Whyalla Football.

Noticed the patrons of West and Central entertaining their guests at the game the other weekend. Good to see some flair coming from the clubs and encouraging spectators back to the game. Well done.
