Thirroul JFC is pleased to welcome Aaron Mott to the Thunder coaching staff as Youth Grade coach for the 2019 season.

Aaron, who had involvement with junior and senior teams at the club last season, will join an experienced coaching team headed by Thunder First Grade coach Garth Bowley.

The Thunder has qualified for the District League First Grade semi-finals in each of Garth’s four previous seasons in charge and this year the club had all three grades in the play-offs. Steve Dobbs will again assist Garth in 2019.

Reserve Grade will again be coached by Kevin Lewis, who has guided the team to three successive grand final wins and the League and Grand Champions double in 2018.

Rick Latini, Jo Belsito and Allen Bond will continue to provide great assistance to the Thunder coaches in their roles as team managers for the 2019 season.

All players interested in playing for the Thunder Youth Grade and open-aged teams next season are invited to a kick-around on Monday, November 19. Please meet at Gibson Park at 6pm.

Further pre-season kick-arounds will be held on November 26, December 3 and December 10.

Thirroul JFC would like to thank 2018 Youth Grade coach Aaron Kellaway for his efforts in ensuring a successful and rewarding season for the team, and wishes him well in his new role as Wollongong United First Grade assistant coach.
