On Saturday the SDS Squads met for another vital training session.

GRANGEMOUTH CHILDREN'S DAY - 18th June 2005
Thousands of people flock to Zetland Park for this Free Annual Event ...
particularly if the sun is out.
Anyone interested in taking part (eg exhibitions ) should contact ...
the Secretary, Mrs Violet Cook, 11 Carbrook Place, Grangemouth OR tel 01324 871450.
This would be an ideal opportunity to introduce Flag Football to the masses AND even make money for
the Broncos Organisation and the SFFA if they wanted to help.

WE'RE GOING LOGO - 15th June 2005
The new Broncos Logo has finally been agreed upon.
Orders are currently being taken for merchandise ...
eg Caps / T-Shirts / Jumpers / Hoodies / Polo Shirts and Jackets.
Contact Coach Charlie Ewing directly via e-mail and we will get a definitive Price List made up shortly.

BRONCOS LOOKING FOR NEW BLOOD ON THE COMMITTEE - 15th June 2005
Following the Committee Meeting and the resignation of Maureen Ewing as Broncos Secretary
it has been decided to put together a letter to go to ALL Parents / Seniors re the running of
the Club and therefore we will be asking for further assistance.
Once this has been done ... we will also publish a copy of the letter on the Broncos Website.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE - 15th June 2005
The next Committee Meeting will take place at the Ewing Residence ... on Wednesday @ 7:30pm.
With the Treasurer providing a statement of our current financial position ...
a few very important decisions will have to be made on the night eg. the 2005/2006 Inchyra Let.
It is with sadness that we hear that our current Secretary will be standing down at the
next Committee Meeting. With Maureen's SDS and GB commitments she feels that she has so little
time left to give the Broncos the desired attention.
All outstanding forms should be handed to Maureen ASAP.
Any other Agenda items ... please send them in timeously to Maureen.
For a copy of the Agenda (when available) ... Click Here.
If the date or time doesn't suit anyone ... please let Maureen know ASAP.

WOODHAMS ONLY WIN IN EURO SCHOOLS FINAL HELPS SCOTLAND - 11th June 2005
The UK finished 7th in Euro Finals ... beating Finland in the Play-Offs.
With the Warriors avoiding last place it now means that in 2006 if a Scottish team becomes UK Champions
we will automatically qualify for the Euro Finals.
Teams going to the 2005 World Championships in China are Germany, Italy and Spain.
2005 Euro School Champions ... Germany.

UK STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST WIN AT EURO FINAL - 11th June 2005
Whilst the UK and Finland play for 7th Place today ...
Italy (Group A Winner), Spain (Group B Winner), Germany (Group A Runner-Up) ...
and Austria (Group B Runner-Up) ... still have a shot for the Final and participation in the
World Championship when they face each other in todays Semi-Finals.
1st Semi-Final ... Italy v Austria
2nd Semi-Final ... Spain v Germany
The Netherlands will play Czech Republic for the 5th Place on World Bowl Saturday after
missing the Semi-Final by having scored two points less in total than Germany.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE BULLS UNBEATEN RECORD VANISHED ? - 11th June 2005
At last ... a Bronco Squad that is good enough to be on the same park as the formidable Kirkcaldy Bulls.
It was a long, long wait but the Bronco Seniors managed some outstanding Defense to not only stop the
Bulls on a few occasions but to intercept the best side in the country ... THREE times !
Saturdays game at Grangemouth was not a high scoring game like previous encounters (14-12) but one of
the main differences was having a young, fit Ryan Hunter ... who scooped the Broncos MVP Award.
The Broncos have now put a dent in the hopes of the Kirkcaldy Bulls retaining the SFFA Seniors League for a THIRD time ... but you can be rest assured that unless the Broncos can win all their games ...
the SFFA Season is not over ... it has just begun ... and what an exciting time ahead if the Broncos
can play as well as this on a regular basis.
Well Done to the Magnificent Seven ... Tommy Farrer, Ryan Hunter, Dave Mooney, John Myles,
Mark Simpson, Jimmy Thomson and Iain Patfield.
