Transcript

00:00Life in Clovelly was very simple. It was football, swimming and cricket.

00:04What's our sport about? What's rugby league about? Rugby league is about getting participants in at a younger age to give them an opportunity.

00:09Playing here, I said, for a lifetime of memory.

00:11First tackle, your first run, your first try.

00:15Keith was a bit different as a coach before his time.

00:17All the kids called him Pop.

00:19Harry McKeown was Mr Clovelly.

00:21Never thought about who financed the club, who paid for the jumpers or the shorts.

00:25There is a name that is Clovelly through and through. It's Ken McMorrah.

00:29Imagine him playing as a nippy little half-back. Dave Hunter.

00:32If you had an argument with him, he'd take you out the back of the dressing chairs.

00:36Arthur Manson. They were the two rocks.

00:38From the word go, there was just something about Sean that was just unbelievable.

00:42I've never seen it before. Supporters just jumped the fence when the full-time siren went.

00:46And it was just incredible. It was just emotional.

00:48It's cheering and cheering and cheering.

00:55The standard then in A grade was pretty serious.

00:57We're at the point of folding if we can't, you know, my husband and I can't keep doing this.

01:01Clovelly isn't the biggest region, and so we have our challenges.

01:04Teams that play for each other are a successful region.

01:07Fighting hard and tackling hard.

01:08To describe my time at Clovelly, it was ups and downs, but ultimately rewarding.

01:14Never forget it if you lose, and you'll never forget it if you win.

01:18Watching these kids, it's watching a lot of little victories.

01:22And that's what all that age football should be.

01:27Go Cougars!
