One of the areas of our club I'm very passionate about is our local junior clubs and I thought I'd start a blog to share some of the work the club does at a grassroots level and also the fantastic work of the volunteers that make all of our junior footy so successful. So if you ever want to make a shout out at a junior level to someone for their good work or you just want to have a boast about your kid doing something awesome, this is the blog to do it!

So today spent a couple of hours down at the Old Salesyard training facility where the Eels held a school holiday clinic for their junior members. Junior, Luke Kelly and Daniel Alvaro were there helping out and so too were the Academy boys.
Well done to the club, it was really well run and both my young blokes really enjoyed it!
Were there any girls in that group photo?
EELS WIN BATTLE OF THE WEST
At the end of every junior footy season, the winner of the Parramatta competition play the winning teams of the Penrith comp and the Eels took out the day for the third straight year. I went down to Pepper Stadium on Saturday morning and watched Wenty U9 and Cabra U11 teams win their respective games and in the end it was a comfortable win for Parra winning seven out of the ten matches!

Yeh. Began as a 7 team comp with us, Hills, Wenty, Junior Eels, Toonie, United and Dragons. Split into a Top 3 Div 1 and Bottom 4 Div 2 comp about half way through the season.
