GGGM HERITAGE GAME - Proudly Sponsored by DENNIS TRADING
On the 31st August, 1980, the Grong Grong Matong Football Club played their last game on the Matong Sports Ground. Now 26 years later, they are bringing the ground back to life for one more bash and the Magpies will fly again.
It's all happening next weekend and Matong will certainly come to life again. The festivities will begin on Friday night when all involved will meet and greet at the Matong Hotel. On Saturday the match against Narrandera will be staged at Matong Sports Ground. A highlight of the day will be the presentation of the specially made Magpie Heritage Guernseys to current GGGM players by former players of the last Grong Grong Matong team.
The last GG-M coach was Peter Cerato and he will be there for the occasion. Other players from that side include Mick Walsh, Denis Walsh, Butch Conway, Laurie Gibson, Hugh Crawford, Ian Mattingly, Gary Choy and Warren Purcell. Another attraction will be a cavalcade of Magpie Legends - past players and officials - in classic cars at half time of the reserves.
The festivities will continue on Saturday night with a Black and White Ball at Matong Hall. The weekend of celebration will conclude on Sunday with the Junior footy, Ganmain v Narrandera followed by a recovery BBQ at Matong Hotel. The organizing committee would love every player and supporter, friends and families to attend this special occasion.
A tremendous amount of preparation has gone into this weekend and I know that it will be a roaring success.
