<strong>2016</strong> was very busy and productive year for the Jandakot Jets Junior Football Club,<br />

finally the long awaited club room extensions got under way. I would like to take the<br />

opportunity to thank the Cockburn City Council for the time, effort and money that went<br />

into the renovations. I would also like to thank all the other clubs that attended our<br />

ground throughout the year for their understanding and patience as at times conditions<br />

were trying and not what would be expected.<br />

To the season itself, I and the club were very proud of the year’s achievements, we had<br />

835 players spread across Auskick, Girls, Juniors and Youths and we had teams<br />

represented in every grade across all completions.<br />

The club fielded a total of 48 teams which comprised of 20 Auskick Teams inclusive of<br />

2 all girl teams, 1- Girls U12’s team, 19 - Junior teams Y3 – Y7’s and 8 - Youths teams<br />

Y8 – Y12’s.<br />

This was the largest number of players and teams ever fielded in 1 season by the Jets<br />

and the club thanks all the coaches, team managers, parents and most importantly the<br />

players for all their commitment and support throughout the year.<br />

The club was represented at finals time by our Y8’s, Y9’s, Y10’s, and Y12’s teams<br />

unfortunately for these teams they didn’t make it through to the grand finals but once<br />

again the club could not fault the commitment and endeavour of the all the players during<br />

finals time and thank all the teams for the way they represented the club.<br />

We had three Y7 teams play in <strong>2016</strong> and it was pleasing to see at the end of the season<br />

we had those finish 2 nd , 3rd and 5 th respectively at the end of the season which is<br />

exciting for all those players and the club as they move into the Fremantle Conference<br />

Y8 competition in 2017.<br />

The club also had state representation in <strong>2016</strong> with one of<br />

our Y7 players, Jai Evans was selected to represent WA in<br />

the Australian Nation U12 Championships held between<br />

July 22 and 30 in Maroochydore, Queensland. Jai travelled<br />

with the squad to Queensland for the carnival via a stop off<br />

in Melbourne. Jai’s family also attended during the carnival<br />

in Queensland and were very proud, deservedly so of his<br />

achievement. The club congratulations Jai and we are sure<br />

his development will continue as he moves into the Y8<br />

Fremantle Conference in 2017.<br />

Further the club had a very healthy representation of<br />

Warriors in <strong>2016</strong> across Y8, Y9 and especially Y10’s.
