BULLS PODCAST

 

The Bulls Podcast talks join all things Pomborneit CC every week. Brent Noonan, Narelle Place and Dave Murphy all featured as co-hosts in December. You can find all episodes of the Bulls Podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

 

 

ABC GRAND NATIONAL

 

The club, in particular our women’s teams, feature on ABC Radio Saturday morning sports show ‘Grand National’. In December the hosts Catherine Murphy and Tony Armstrong spoke to Grace Lee, Jessica Moulden and Samantha LaFranchi. Make sure to tune into ABC Melbourne or ABC Grandstand on digital radio around 11.50am each Saturday. It’s worth tuning in just for the Pomborneit theme song they’ve come up with!

 

 

12th MAN CLUB

 

The club’s coterie group, the ’12th Man Club’ is doing a brilliant job raising funds and engaging supporters. Now with well over 40 members, it’s a great time to join in on the fun, contact Churchy or a committee member for info on how to be involved.
