Stephen Smith and Wendy Goodluck are new members of the Tilford Zebras committee following the club’s AGM last Thursday.
Smith, a former top goalkeeper with Glenorchy Knights and Zebras, replaces Garry Sargent, who will be assistant coach to John Moutsatsos with the Zebras’ women’s Premier League side next season.

Goodluck was elected in place of Robert Corradetti, who is having a year off because of work and family commitments.
Nick Di Giovanni was re-elected as president and Rocky Schiro as vive-president.
Shirley Ringrose is again the club’s secretary, while Bruce Pears, Sav Perri, Michael Pace, Maureen Absolom and Raelene Hennicke were also re-elected to the committee.
Hennicke, who has formed her own photographic company with an emphasis on football photography but not restricted to that, will again be the Zebras’ official photographer.
Hennicke has covered A-League games in the State in the past for publications such as Melbourne’s “Goal!Weekly”.
Hennicke is also responsible for the Zebras’ merchandising.
“It’s been a quiet start to training,” said president Nick Di Giovanni.
“Last Monday, we had our best turnout of 21.
“There are not many new faces and a lot of the younger Zebras and some of our senior players are away overseas or recovering from injury.
“We are expecting more at training in the next few weeks as I am sure the later people leave it the harder it will for them be to be named in the 20-man [Victory League] squad.
“Training with Steve [Pitchford], Tommy [Fotak] and Nick [Harrison] is full steam ahead, with Steve and Tommy, along with Romeo Frediani, also being put through the C licence by the Zebras.”

Olympia Warriors have picked up a $30,000 sponsorship over three years from Juicy Isle, the fruit drink company.
Juicy Isle manager is Tim Kroustalis, son of former Olympia great from the 1960s, Angelo Kroustalis.

better to direct in these areas than importing players. I hope Olympia build on what they have. New players need to want to play for the Club on the same terms as current players or we are just building sand castles.
Attracting players like Toghill, Macolm and Tsakiris from Clarence is a good start.
Player payments as well who knows actual how much they pay there top liners at the Warriors!
I think all your ideas are good and would love to see them myself.
But the amount of money it costs to run a club is unbelievable.
Hopefully Olympia are able to do somethings off the park as well as on it as the money doesn't always go as far as we sometimes all think.
Same old story pal. Tell us something more exciting. Congrats to Olympia anyway.
