Slightly-built and curly-haired, teenage schoolboy Liam Henry lit up Claremont Oval on a dull, wet and wintry morning with a sparkling exhibition in a forward pocket in an intraclub scratch match last Saturday.

The effervescent 17-year-old befuddled his rivals with his magical skills and delighted the sparse band of hearty supporters with three wonderful goals in the opening quarter.

Our pre-Xmas training phase was extremely positive. Our retention of players and being able to add Declan Mountford, Harry McCracken, Jack Bradshaw and Callan England plus a host of eager and talented colts boys has made it an exciting place to be. A number of new faces are having a crack as well and it wouldn’t surprise me to see a couple step up. Our post Xmas training has also started well.
