25.01.2022 The Eagles met with some tough competition in Round 8 against the ANU Griffins on Saturday. Our boys started off strong, but the Griffins pulled away in the last quarter to record a 10.14-74 to 6.10-46 win. Congrats to the following players for their consistent effort: Oldmate ACT Players Player - Blake Hourn... Promech Australia $50 Award - David Guttler Murrumbateman Pub- Murrumbateman Country Inn $30 Meal Award - Blake Hourn Murrumbateman Takeaway Pizza Award - Pat Ryan Southern Cable Services Coaches Award - Kevin Mangan And thanks again to our loyal sponsors for providing our weekly awards.

21.01.2022 Foundation Eagle Back for 2021 The Murrumbateman Football Club is pleased to announce that Two-Time Club Leading Goal Kicker Brent Ford will return to the club in 2021. Ford has missed just one game since becoming a foundation player in 2019, booting 53 goals in 22 matches, finishing runner-up in the competition's goal kicking award in both 2019 and 2020.... Ford says he's looking forward to the challenge of helping the club grow following this year's first finals appearance. "There is a lot of talent within the group, and we showed in patches this year we were capable of matching it with the better teams in the competition". "Personally, I'm disappointed I couldn't play in that final at Yass, so there is a bit of unfinished business." With a younger brother playing at his junior club Ainslie, Ford says ultimately being able to balance his coaching ambitions won out. "There was always that temptation to play back at Ainslie next year, but following Rourkey (Chris Rourke) leaving the club, and the selections that were made this year it shows Ainslie is focusing on youth." "I've never been able to play with my brother, so that would've been the main attraction to return to Ainslie. Maybe one day he'll come out and play for the Eagles with me!. "I'm also involved in the women's program at Eastlake, and don't want to give up that role, as I feel the squad is on the verge of something special." With Covid-19 impacting this year's season, Ford says he's thankful for the backing the team received throughout the year. "Seeing what having a team means to the community, and being able to come down and watch on game day here in Murrumbateman is quite special. "We're only a small team in the scheme of things, so to get the support that we do from those that come out and cheer us on, and the sponsors that back us so we can put a team on the paddock, is quite special."

21.01.2022 COACHING LINE-UP CONFIRMED Coach Brent Fraser is pleased to announce that Adam Hill will be joining him as Assistant Coach for the 2021 season. Hilly is an established leader of the club, captaining the team in 2019 and assisting the coaches in 2020. ... Frase and Hilly will also be assisted by passionate clubman Alex 'Richo' Richens. Fraser confirmed that Richo will be also taking our pre-game warm up throughout the season. Although a massive boost to the coaching staff, Richens will be sorely missed as a player. His powerful marking and accurate kick made him an obvious target in the forward line. "Due to ongoing ankle trouble and needing to go back in for further surgery I won't be returning in a playing role for the foreseeable future." he said. Although unable to join the team on the field Richo said "I could not be happier to still be a part of this club after spending last season as a spectator due to injury. I'm really looking forward to making a positive impact on the playing group, both on and off the field." .
