Balgownie Soccer working bee circa 1986-1989 at Judy Masters Oval

The below 8 pictures relate to a working bee at Judy Masters Oval in the mid to late eighties, which both the Junior and Senior Clubs attended. Various faces are familiar to myself (Mario Vescio, Torbin Christiansen, Dave Devenney, Ian Drain, Noel Bone, Mr Jenkins, Geoff Burling and Eddie Thompson just to name a few) and it is interesting to see how Judy Masters Oval has changed since these pictures were taken (the substitute benches being on the eastern side of the ground, the lack of sponsorship signs, the Clubhouse having no awning off it et cetera). Enjoy and remember if you have any pictures of connection to Balgownie then please send them through to the website on info@balgownierangers.com.au or mesokurtic@yahoo.com.au

BRFC 2009 Players – All Time Statistics

KEY:
SEAS = No. of Seasons at Balgownie Rangers,
FGA = 1st Grade Starting Appearance(s),
FGAS = 1st Grade Substitute Appearance(s),
FGAB = 1st Grade Substitute No Appearance(s),
FGT = FGA + FGAS + FGAB,
RGA = 2nd Grade Starting Appearance(s),
RGAS = 2nd Grade Substitute Appearance(s),
RGAB = 2nd Grade Substitute No Appearance(s),
RGT = RGA + RGAS + RGAB,
YGA = Yth Grade Starting Appearance(s),
YGAS = Yth Grade Substitute Appearance(s),
YGAB = Yth Grade Substitute No Appearance(s),
YGT = YGA + YGAS + YGAB,
TGA = Total Starting Appearance(s),
TGAS = Total Substitute Appearance(s),
TGAB = Total Substitute No Appearance(s),
TGT = TGA + TGAS + TGAB,
FGG = 1st Grade Goals scored,
RGG = 2nd Grade Goals scored,
YGG = Yth Grade Goals scored,
TGG = FGG + RGG + YGG,
TYC = Yellow Cards received in all grades,
TRC = Red Cards received in all grades &
Adj. TGA = As no statistics can be obtained for 1995 and 2001, this number is the approximate number of starting appearances in all grades each player accrued in 1995 and or 2001 plus their TGA figure, to give a better indication of their total starting appearances at the Club. For example Jeff North has a TGA figure of 219. This figure does not include the 1995 and 2001 seasons. Thus in those seasons he was fit and would have played most games, which would mean he would have started 40 odd games to give him a adjusted TGA figure of 260.
* = Indicates the player played in the 2001 season.
^ = Indicates the player played in the 1995 season.
Note: For players that played in the 1994 season only TGA, TGAS and TGG statistics could be obtained. Therefore if you add together a player’s FGA (or FGAS/FGG), RGA (or RGAS/RGG) and YGA (or YGAS/YGG) figures they will not add up to their TGA (or TGAS/TGG) figure(s). For example Jeff North has a FGA figure of 139, a RGA figure of 45 and a YGA figure of 10, which adds up to 194. However his TGA figure is 219, thus showing he started 25 games (in various grades) in the 1994 season.
