South Hedland Swans flying<br />

high with <strong>Fortescue</strong><br />

Swans number 1 in 2012!<br />

LEFT TO RIGHT: <strong>Fortescue</strong> Operations Supervisor Port, Ross Barlow; Swans President, Ian Ingham; Swans League Coach, Troy<br />

Ugle and <strong>Fortescue</strong> General Manager Port, Gerhard Veldsman with the <strong>Fortescue</strong> South Hedland Swans 2012 League Team.<br />

On Saturday 5 May<br />

Hedland’s <strong>Fortescue</strong> Family<br />

celebrated the official<br />

launch of the <strong>Fortescue</strong><br />

sponsored South Hedland<br />

Swans Football Club and<br />

the jumper presentation of<br />

the 2012 League team at<br />

Kevin Scott Oval.<br />

The much anticipated derby<br />

between <strong>Fortescue</strong> South Hedland<br />

Swans and Port Hedland Rovers<br />

provided the perfect platform for<br />

<strong>Fortescue</strong>’s General Manager Port,<br />

Gerhard Veldsman to officially launch<br />

the <strong>Fortescue</strong> South Hedland Swans<br />

and present the League players with<br />

their new <strong>Fortescue</strong> branded jumper<br />

and player pack.<br />

The club welcomed <strong>Fortescue</strong> staff<br />

and their families along with local<br />

families to join in the celebrations,<br />

hosting a pre-match AFL clinic for<br />

the kids lead by the Swans players<br />

and coaching staff. Jumping castles<br />

were also on site to keep the kids<br />

entertained before and during the<br />

match.<br />

Now part of the wider <strong>Fortescue</strong><br />

family, the Swans are benefiting from<br />

the generous support of <strong>Fortescue</strong><br />

volunteers at home games to set up,<br />

pack up, run the canteen and provide<br />

water to players during the games.<br />

Port team members Rachel Wilson<br />

(nee Magee), Andrea Lockyer, Temira<br />

James, Jody Holland, Jessie Ielati<br />

and John Vuckovich (and his lovely<br />

wife) ensured the Swans canteen ran<br />

smoothly at the big event, while Port<br />

Operations Supervisor, Ross Barlow<br />

provided assistance during the<br />

jumper presentation. Cloudbreak’s<br />

Indigenous Development<br />

Coordinators, Terry Jaffrey and Rob<br />

Solin also pitched in, making the trip<br />

to South Hedland to be involved and<br />

lend a helping hand.<br />

Lead by <strong>Fortescue</strong>’s Hedland<br />

Community Team, the <strong>Fortescue</strong><br />

South Hedland Swans event was a<br />

great success with a strong turnout.<br />

The <strong>Fortescue</strong> South Hedland<br />

Swans will be flying high into the<br />

remainder of the 2012 North Pilbara<br />

Football League season buoyed by<br />

<strong>Fortescue</strong>’s support.<br />
