On Sunday 16 October I attended the All Saints Oatley West Soccer Club presentation day at Oatley Park. It was good to attend the event at that very picturesque location and to present trophies to players who have worked hard throughout the season. Trophies were presented to Evan Fiamegos, Patrick Campbell, Joseph Liew and Benjamin Wappett. I congratulate all those players on their achievements. I would like to thank the Oatley West soccer club for holding this great event and for its very long history in our area. It was established in 1923 and re-established in 1960. So, for many decades it has played a very important role in the Georges River region.

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Mr Adrian Rees and Max Pentecost for receiving Clubman of the Year awards for their service to the club, and in particular Mr Denis Wood, the club president, who is celebrating 50 years at the club, as well as John Klinker, the vice-president, who is celebrating 55 years. It was good to have a chat on the day with Alan Comrie, the club's secretary, about a wide range of issues that are of concern to Oatley West in terms of the Oatley Park environment and various other matters. I look forward to further discussions on those important issues.
