Euroa Magpies shine in Junior Country Championships and Presentation night

OVER the weekend of March 16 Euroa Football Netball Club's U/16 and U/18 Boys showcased their skills at the Junior Country Championships held in Bendigo. Despite facing tough competition, both teams displayed outstanding sportsmanship and determination. The U/18's battled fiercely but unfortunately were knocked out in the first round of Division five finals. Despite the setback, they demonstrated resilience and teamwork throughout the tournament. On a brighter note, the U/16's delivered an exceptional performance, dominating the competition and emerging as champions of the Division six grand final. This historic victory marks the first time a Euroa team has triumphed at the junior country championships level, highlighting the club's commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering a winning spirit. The team, led by Head Coach Luis Casanova and Assistant Coach Matt Green, showcased skill, dedication, and teamwork, bringing pride to the Euroa community. Following the weekend's exhilarating matches, Euroa Magpie Basketball gathered on Thursday evening, March 21, for their presentation night at Sevens Creek Park. It was an occasion of celebration, unity, and reflection on the club's achievements throughout the season. The highlight of the evening was the inaugural presentation of the "Peter Beaumont Spirit Award," named in honor of a beloved member of the club, Peter Beaumont, who passed away in May of the previous year. This award recognises an athlete who embodies Pete's finest qualities, including selfless dedication and a commitment to the club's culture. This year's deserving recipient was Max Miller, who exemplified the spirit of the award with his unwavering dedication and contribution to the team. The award was presented in collaboration with Pete's family, led by his wife, Carlene Beaumont, who graced the event with their presence. The presentation of the Peter Beaumont Spirit Award marked a poignant moment for the club, reaffirming its values and honoring the memory of a cherished member. It was announced that the award would become an annual tradition, presented alongside the Beaumont family at the end of each season.
