PAKENHAM Junior Football Club’s first official function for the season was a roaring success with hundreds turning out for Kids Day on the Oval at Toomuc Reserve on Sunday.
Players from under-8 through to under-17 received their match jumpers for the year from senior players Troy Toussaint, Jake Smith, Ronn Llorico, Jake Barclay, Jack Muirhead, Jack Melbourne and Daniel Fry as family and friends enjoyed football activities, rides and music. Entertainment was provided by Corza and Eric, while local artists Alicia Henwood and Bridget Moroney stole the show.
PJFC president Travis Hamilton said the event, coordinated by Tracy McDermott, was an overwhelming success.
“The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed the activities and the entertainment on stage,” Hamilton said.
“The PJFC would like to thank everyone who supported the event, including club and event sponsors, local businesses and volunteers who helped out on the day.”
Following the under 17’s jumper presentation, Fry addressed the group and encouraged them to strive for hard work and success and looked forward to seeing them move through the senior ranks in 2016.
Pakenham Auskick was also there, signing up new participants, and will continue to take registrations online.
Pakenham juniors are also looking for expressions of interest from girls interested in playing in the SEJFL under-12 competition, as well as older girls who would like to become involved in the future.
Pakenham Junior Football Club is still seeking players for a number of age groups.
