Yellow Fever Scholarship 2009

Yellow Fever Scholarship 2009

Folks,

Thought we should let people know that Fever Scholarship winner Marco Rojas injured an ankle playing on Saturday.  He was due to be here this week to train with the Phoenix but it has had to be delayed.

We'll let you know what the changed plans are.

Cheers
Fever.

Did you get that from the fact i did post that on sunday but it got deleted?? HK_Keeper2009-05-04 19:01:17

hope he s ok. surely the nix won't mind when he takes part in training would they?

Would have thought pre season would have been better because then the pressure isn't as big in terms of working as a unit
 

We should be able to work something out.  Phoenix being very supportive.

Poach him for onslow firsts

They'll need it if they play every game like they did against High. 

Oh well, a rolled ankle should settle reasonably quickly. I'm sure he'll enjoy his time with the Nix, whenever that might be. Who knows he might end up as our Marquee!

All,

Just a big thanks to the Phoenix, our sponsors (particularly the YHA) and all the Fever for helping us bring Marco Rojas down this week.  Everyone buying t-shirts, getting in on any of our initiatives or supporting our sponsors are what helps make these things happen.

Marco had a great week and opened some eyes among the Phoenix fans and players as anyone who was at the game on Wednesday night will tell you.  I imagine he's a name we'll be hearing more of in the future.

Thanks folks !

Everything i've heard has been positive. Great to hear you guys obviously picked a good one! valeo2009-06-06 00:05:30

I voted for him in the poll.

Marco certainly looked the goods on Wednesday night alright. Its great that YF has helped him along the way on what could be a promising career in Football.Well done guys!

Word on the street is he is coming back down this week. I won't say it but I told you guys he was good, bastard though, we could have used him today.

We couldn't possibly comment on that Soley.  

..at the time I thought  ' Aha! '   News is onto something here..should have posted you back then..

great guy

Soley, enlighten us!!

I know Rojas is not confirmed yet but what ever happens this was an exercise well worth while!
I hope all the YF scouts are keeping their eyes peeled for next season's Scholarship candidates too.Good stuff.
next step: Rojas for the AW's..

definitely agree on that front. And I'd be very happy should he sign. Especially because he is already so gifted and this guy could really be nurtured and he'll fill a youth spot for 3/4 years! and thats definitely going to benefit him.

Im just scared that there are too many similar players in the squad.

I just hope that hes not another draper, who doesnt get any game time. he would be better of then at waikato.

potentially he means because of lack of game time but with the youth team it shouldnt be an issue i would think
