"Fellow Saints, a quick thank you and farewell, when you are reading this, the Armand family are on their way to a new life in Australia.  On a personal note I have enjoyed the experience of coaching and developing the Hawks & Pumas and it is rewarding to also see the Mini Saints grow not only in player numbers but the coaches developing themselves and adding real value to the training of the children.  Our normal football weekend routine will be missed (not by Vanessa) over the coming months and both Isaac & Joe have had a great time being team members and enjoyed every aspect that the club had to offer, they met good friends during this time and will recall fond memoriesin the future.  Not forgetting Ollie, he attended most Mini Saints sessions come rain or shine and is ready for joining a team now, but I must say, he may take to Aussie Rules next as he often delivered a late challenge or two.  A big thank you to the club and the dedicated volunteers who work hard behind the scenes often overlooked but provide value and stability to grow this club with many challenges along the way.  Thank you for a great send off and I will let you know how things develop in Melbourne for the family.
 
Last thing from me: Great club, great range of players and teams for everyone, great coaches and supporters and may the club grow and have a great future for all those involved.
 
Best regards
 
Richard, Vanessa, Isaac, Joe, Ollie & Jude.
