The Windsor Wolves launched its 2021 season last weekend, wishing its Ron Massey Cup and Sydney Shield teams good luck heading into round one on Saturday, March 13.
Federal Macquarie MP Susan Templeman the launch that was held at Windsor Leagues Club on Saturday, March 6.
She said it was great to attend the season launch and to meet the new recruits coaches of both teams
"There is a lot of experience being brought into the club with older players like Tony Williams, and it was great to see the maturity they bring into what I'm told is a young team," Ms Templeman said.
"Wolves president Ross Jones, is optimistic about the season ahead, and I have to say there is a really great energy about the club.
Ms Templeman said she was pleased to hear the positive feedback about the clubs newest grandstand that was a part of her 2010 election promise.
"I was very pleased to hear new coach and former Western Suburbs player Chris Yates describe the ground 'as good as a Queensland Cup ground'," she said.
"Parents and grandparents of the junior teams tell me they're so grateful to have shelter from the sun and rain while watching a game."
Both of the Wolves squads will play at home this weekend against the Hills Bulls.
"I know there's going to be a significant amount of local support to cheer them on," said Ms Templeman.
"The easing of COVID restrictions means it's going to be a huge day of footy, with lots of family entertainment also available off the field.
"After COVID, bushfires and floods in the Hawkesbury last year, the importance of bringing the community together - particularly through sport - has never been more important. I wish the Wolves all the very best for the season ahead."
The Sydney Shield competition kicks off at 4pm on March 13 at Windsor Sporting Complex, with the Ron Massey Cup beginning at 6pm.
