Power and Water AFL Squad 2009

07 Sep 2009

Power and Water presented a number of awards at Treager Park on Saturday night.

Scott Taylor, who picked up the Coaches' Award, said the squad had enabled him to develop his on-pitch skills.

"The opportunity to be part of a great program like the Power and Water academy is fantastic," he said.

"My football skills and the success I have had in football have a lot to do with the Power and Water squad."

"Going away on the two football trips over the past two years with the squad had helped to develop all in the program and I think that is why the development squad has had so much success over the past two years."

Power and Water Area Manager Alan Whyte said he was very pleased with the program, which recognises and assists young people with their sporting development.

"Our commitment to these young people ensures they have opportunity and support to achieve their sporting ambitions," he said.
