Dizzy heights were reached in 2012 when the winning of a radio contest brought a bit of razzmatazz into our club.
Triple M radio ran a statewide contest, ‘Ford Ranger, Good Sporting Story’, looking for a feel good story to promote. Enter Men’s Director Darryl Jahnke, who entered the submission, highlighting the accomplishment of our 2 Mens Metro 4 teams, competing against each other in the Grand Final.
The Men’s Metro 4 grand final became an epic occasion in which Triple M provided over 200 egg and bacon rolls, drinks, video and sound crew, publicity, cheer girls and the opportunity to have media personality Luke Darcy commentate the game, which included a live ‘on air’ cross at half time.
Team personalities including, Master of Destruction, Cucumber, Tomma, Silver Fox, The Machine, Farbs, Showtime, and Never Pass Paul Russ, were thrown into the spotlight, becoming overnight sensations.
A great day capped off with the game going to penalty strokes, and the presentation by Triple M of the $2000 prize money to FHC.
Enjoy the attached production and keep an eye out for the then, future Premier League star!
