FINALS SERIES
T
he 2009 DDJFL Finals Series had just about
everything, big crowds, close games, wild
weather and even a draw, but most

football.

tirelessly to ensure all players, officials and
supporters had an enjoyable finals experience.
The Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills greeted all

series and did a great job in ensuring the safe
entry and exit for all attendees.
The first week of the finals saw teams battling
in Semi Finals to either qualify for the Grand Final
or live to fight for a chance to play in the Grand
Final. This battle was made more difficult by the
extreme wind and rain that welcomed the players
at each ground and the supporters who were
brave enough to leave their car.
It was a good old fashioned wet and windy
day of junior football that ended in delight for the
teams that reached the Grand Final and the
marked the end of the season for the teams who
missed out.
Preliminary Final matches brought some finer
weather and more great football. Supporters
followed the finals series with their Footy Record
and checked out all the season statistics and team
lists as well as having a great memento.
The do or die Preliminary Finals brought the
best out in players as the losing teams hung their
boots up for the season and the winning teams
gained a birth into the Grand Final.
Grand Final Day attracted huge crowds at
each ground that were lucky to witness some
heart stopping matches that included a draw.
Games were played in great spirit on a day made
for football.
Winners were presented on the day with their
Premiership Cup and Flag that were held proudly
for all of the snapping cameras.
Premiership and Runner Up players were
presented medallions. A Best on Ground medal
was also presented at each match.
The Finals Series produced anything and
everything, but most importantly it provided an
enjoyable and memorable junior football
experience.

FINANCIAL REPORT
FINANCIAL REPORT
A
t first glance it would appear that the
League’s financial performance during the
2009 season was disappointing, with a loss of
$52,000 recorded. However, in assessing the
performance it must be noted that approximately
$70,000 of expenditure from the 2008 season had
been deferred and was brought to account during
the 2009 financial year.
Auditor’s Report
A complete review of the League’s chart of
accounts was undertaken and this is now established
to provide a transparent recording of all income and
expenditure items.
In addition, a complete review of all tax
compliant matters was carried out by a consultant
and the League is now compliant with all PAYG and
BAS commitments.
A Budget has also been set for the 2010 season
that still provides for a marginal profit, even after
taking into account the restructured administration
and includes conservative estimates for a property
division and sponsorship income.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
FUNDS GO TO A GOOD CAUSE
Involving our community to help other communities
The Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills assisted
the League in the finals series by providing gate
keepers at all venues. The money they received
from the League has gone towards the purchase
of a ShelterBox.
ShelterBoxes are sent world-wide to disaster
areas. They usually consist of:

10 thermal blankets

A rugged 10 person dome tent

Tools and other survival equipment.
A ShelterBox provides:

dry shelter

a warm bed

light and heat

clean water

cooking aids, and

tools
for up to 10 people.
This is just another way that the football
community works with local community groups to
help international communities.
Timbarra players share a moment
