Update from club president John McCann
- Details
Dear members of the Glenorchy Magpie Family,
I don’t need to tell you that these are very challenging times for the Glenorchy District Football Club, the football community and everyone in our wider community.
Obviously, with the new government restrictions now in place, all the core operations of our club have now been suspended – our senior football teams, our junior club, our bar, function centre and bingo.
While our players are understandably disappointed not be taking on Clarence on 4 April after four months of intense pre-season training, we all understand the current situation is bigger than football.
