See details on the Annual General Meeting page with links to information and forms. Any financial member who has an interest in the running and development of the Sports Club and it’s sporting Divisions can nominate to become part of the organisations governing body. Hope to see you there.
Football and Netball Club – forging ahead towards 2025
Football are celebrating a great season, with Grand Final wins in U10, U16 and in the Seniors. Which means the club moves back into Division 1 EDFL for season 2025. Well done to all.
Our Netball teams both played off in Grand Finals recently with one win and one runner up… A great result.
Off field, the club is running very well with the efforts of the Committee and dedicated volunteers really showing how to successfully run a club. Well done all.
Cricket ramping up for new Season.
Cricket are already well advanced in their planning and recruiting for the new season starting in October. Junior numbers are exceeding expectation and senior signings point towards a very competitive year for our club. See their media pages for more details.
Although the season has started on paper, weather has caused a delay in teams actually being able to take the field. Fingers crossed for play to start this weekend coming (12 Oct).
Life Member Recognition.
On the 28th of July the Sporting Club held a get together for our Life Members to recognise the work undertaken to bring our Club to it’s current status.

Cheers to all for the next 40 years.
Basketball – forging ahead as well
Basketball are also increasing numbers and teams across the juniors. All expectantly waiting for the opening of the community facility currently taking shape at the Primary School. A recent tour of the facility has revealed just how great a job is being done and what a great job the Principal, Chris Sevior, has done for the community. This project has been one our club has been involved with since 2015 with representations to our local MP Natalie Hutchins and the Ministers for Education since that date.
In further news, some great results from the season just completed.
Congratulations to our Under 10 Girls Bahamondes and U18 Boys Fratangelo teams on your wins in the Winter 2024 Season Grand Finals.
Great effort to the Under 12 Boys Ford, U12 Girls Groves and Under 14 Boys Fraser teams who were runners-up this season.
Particular mention to the Under 14 Boys Fraser team who went into overtime before losing in a very tightly contested game.
WELL DONE!
Tennis Club Kicking Goals…
Tennis continue to be a club to be taken notice of in our region. With the new room and lighting upgrade to commence in September 2024 and three new court upgrades, the club can only go from strength to strength.
The Development has begun…. The old rooms have left the area and construction should start soon..
Another project which the club has been actively involved with via submissions to council since 2005. To all those involved over those years, and particularly to Rick and his team in the recent years, a great big vote of thanks from the Taylors Lakes tennis community.
The plan for the new rooms.
