To all players, members, sponsors and supporters,

The committee is delighted to announce the appointment of Senior Coach for the 2014 season, Ron Rooney.

Ron initially had a much decorated playing career which saw him a 4 time Best and Fairest winner and also nominated as player and coach of Oak Park’s team of the century after coaching them to their first ever Senior Premiership.

Ron comes to NOBSPC from the EDFL where he has coached Oak Park, Tullamarine, Airport West and Coburg Districts with consistent success. Ron has also coached Sunshine YCW in the WRFL.

Currently employed as a physical education teacher and sports co-ordinator, Ron also worked at the elite level of sport as a fitness advisor to the Victorian Cricket team and as full time coaching and development manager for Cricket Victoria and Cricket Australia.

Ron also runs coaching programs for the AFL and Calder Cannons.

The committee is also pursuing a number of young candidates for senior assistant roles. We hope to have an announcement on this soon.

A day will be advertised shortly for all players to meet and catch up with Ron. Please stay posted.

We wish Ron all the best for the up coming season and ask that everyone supports him in helping our club to once again assert itself on the competition in 2014.
