Swans to field three teams

Woy Woy Peninsula Swans will have three teams in the Black Diamond AFL League in the coming year, according to club secretary Ms Belinda Campbell.

The club will have teams in under-18s, reserves and first division, she said.

"This year we only had under-18s and reserve grade in the competition.

"We are looking forward to a lot of past players and old faces returning to the club."

According to Ms Campbell the junior club is also set to grow.

"We are fielding a team in every grade from Auskick to under-16s," Ms Campbell said.

In 2008 the league will be introducing a netball competition.

"The club netball team will follow the football teams and play the same club at the same ground," Ms Campbell said.

"With the introduction of the netball team, the player's sisters, girlfriends, wives and mothers can all be a part of our family club.

"Pre-season training has started with numbers looking good already.

"We hope the Peninsula will get behind their only AFL club."

The position of senior coach has been advertised and applications are still being accepted.
