Tooradin recalls glory days

– Jim Mynard
TOORADIN Dalmore Football Club celebrated the last home game on Saturday 18 August with a good win and a reunion with a focus on the club’s 1977 premiership.
Nearly 60 former players and officials attended the lunch in the Tooradin Sports Club where many a game was replayed.
One of the conversational topics was the comparison between the club’s old tin shed change rooms of long ago and the modern facilities provided by the sports club.
Club president Chris Deneraez thanked the reunion organisers Joe Svaganovic and Laurie Chapman.
Mr Svaganovic said it was great for the organisers when people turned up to a function.
“It makes you feel good and I am aware that many people travelled a long way to be here,” he said.
Mr Svaganovic paid tribute to the initiator of the reunions, former player Ron Mantel, who died last year.
