Santa
Claus has come again. Whether he’s early
or late is a moot point.
Suffice
it to say that Olympia Warriors are the latest beneficiary of government
largesse.
The
club has been given a ‘Levelling the Playing Field’ grant of $500,000, which is
not to be sneezed at.
“These
funds will be designated towards the upgrading of the Warrior Park facility,”
said Olympia president, George Mamacas.
“Specifically,
we intend to improve the existing change rooms and add more change rooms
designed for females.
“Also
envisaged will be a new media room and seating for the viewing public.
“Construction
is likely to take place towards the end of the 2019 winter football season.
“The
club thanks the State Government for their consideration of the grant.
“A
big thank you to our club’s General Manager, Sarah Black, for the tireless work
she put towards the final draft of the grant application.
“I
also recognise the efforts of the FFT board in assisting us and would like to thank
FFT Board member, Jim Lange, for his personal help with this project.
“Olympia
FC are proud to be the leaders in women’s football in the State of Tasmania.
“Olympia
FC look forward to a successful Super League campaign in 2019.”

Great to see futbol clubs getting grants.but as a European its 2019 & facilities for clubs have been so far behind the rest of the world here.perhaps its not taken seriously as its only seasonal here.& you have the longest preseason in the world
$$$ for South Hobart, KGV, Warrior Park. Anyone smell an election in the air?!
