Dear Kevin
Please pass on my personal congratulations to all involved in the Penrith F.C. this season. The efforts of all concerned have made me a very proud person. On visiting the Club at the old player’s day I was very impressed with everything the club has done and is doing. (I almost said “moving forward” but resisted.) My only disappointment was not being able to see the U/18’s due to a forfeit.
I was most impressed with the attention paid to all the small things, the state of the facilities, the eagerness of the club volunteers, the management of the teams, and most of all the positive, professional, and progressive attitude of the players. Their attention to the game at hand was great; there was a real feeling of working together to achieve success. This feeling extended right through the club in all grades. The old lets not get beaten by too many attitude was long gone.
Please pass on my best to all players and coaches taking part in the upcoming finals. I am sure they will continue to make us all proud. I am making every effort to be at this weekend’s games. If I am unable to attend I will definitely be there in spirit and hanging on the result.
The future for the Penrith Club is certainly positive. You all deserve great credit and should take great pride in your achievements.
GO THE RAMS
