Auskick / AFL clinic for Berowra!

Starting Friday May 11 at Berowra Oval from 4-5 pm, The Hornsby Berowra Eagles and AFL are proud to announce a 6 week Auskick and AFL clinic.

The clinic is open to all kids from 5 – 12 and will teach AFL skills such as kicking, handballing, marking and running. The emphasis is on fun, with every participant receiving a footy pack, with backpack, stickers, footy cards, and your very own Sherrin football.

AFL is a safe, fun and inclusive sport for all boys and girls, and this clinic offers the perfect opportunity for Berowra kids to try out AFL – Australia’s own football.

1) What position do you like to play?

Centre

2) Who is your favourite footy player and why?

Sam Reid because he can catch the ball with really big high jumping.

3) What's the hardest skill to get right when playing footy?

Kicking straight (Editors Note - Sam Reid would probably agree with you)

4) What is your best footy tip?

When you kick, hold your hands on the sides of the ball and point your thumbs near the pump hole and keep practicing (as demostrated perfectly in this picture)

5) Why do you like playing for the Hornsby Eagles?

Because I like playing AFL at the end of all the practice

Anzac Round at Rofe Park

AnzacDay

As a club we were proud to remember the fallen during our Anzac Day Round - 22.4.12

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

Eagles take on the Gosford Tigers!

GosfordDrinks An invitation was received by HBE to travel up to Gosford to have a friendly game with the Gosford Tigers and to open their season. Players from U11s, U12s and U13s gathered to show the Tigers what the Eagles were made of.

On arrival the boys were met with some extremely tall competitors who turned out to be part of the Tigers’ U14s side. With a few amendments to the rules, and some player swapping, the Eagles took to the field. The boys played well and demonstrated determination and courage in the face of bigger and more experienced players. The final score saw the Eagles win 11 – 8 – 74 to Tigers 8 – 8 – 56.

As stated by Adrian Browne – HBE Vice President “The game was played in great spirit, and we give particular thanks to your older boys who showed fantastic maturity in playing amongst the younger and smaller boys. Not to mention their fantastic skills, from which I believe the younger boys will have learnt plenty.”

A good preseason hit out for all the boys. A special thanks to Basil and Rob from the Gosford Tigers and to Mark, Steve and Adrian from HBE for organising the game.

All The Round One Action!

It was a perfect day for footy for our opening round. We bounced off at 9am with Matt Kean MP giving the first ceremonial bounce to our awesome Under 9 Reds. We played Pennant Hills - our new partner for the North West suns, who also made their debut at Rofe later in the day. Our Under 10s, 13s and 16s also played great games - congrats team!

Congrats also to our new batch of Auskickers and their parents, enjoying footy for the first time!
