2013, when my daughter started playing netball for them.

Q. What roles have you held at the club?

In the early years, I was only ever involved in netball. My wife coached and I assisted her on match-day, scoring, timekeeping, all those sought of duties that need to be done for a game to happen.

I've got three girls who have all played netball there and then my son started playing football there. That's when I became more involved with the football there and the club in general.

Since he started playing I've been a trainer at the club, and about four or five years ago I got involved on the committee and was then the secretary for three years.

Q. What do you love most about the club that you support/volunteer for?

I'm a farmer, and I can go for a week at a time only seeing my wife unless I make a special effort to get outside the farm. So for me, it's the social aspect.

OTHER NEWS:

Q. What is your number one highlight in your time supporting/volunteering?

Q. Who is the player from your club you've most enjoyed watching?

From netball Megan Shea. On the football field Beau Cosson.
