Border Downs Tintinara Crows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Border Downs Tintinara (BDT) Football Club is located in Tintinara and Coonalpyn. The club has been in the Mallee Football League since 2001. The BDT FC was formed after the Border Downs and the Tintinara clubs merged. Before the Mallee Football League BDT was part of the River Murray Football League. BDT and Karoonda are the only teams in the league to not be on the Mallee Highway, which means it takes a lot longer for most of the teams to travel to. Many teams have forfeited because of this.
The BDT FC in recent years has dominated the B grade and the Junior Colts, in 2006 BDT were premiers in every grade apart from the Junior colts which finished fourth in the Lightning Carnival. The "A" grade team took victory against the Lameroo Hawks as did the "B" Grade. The senior colts team defeated the Pinnaroo Supa Roos with Dustin Head winning the best on ground medal.
The 2007 season hold promise for all teams with hopes of each of the 2006 teams to take back to back premierships. The "A" Grade side will be led by Joshua Richardson and Ben Hooper and coached by Greg Kennett, who led the team to the flag in only his first year in charge of the senior side. The under 16s side looks strong for the 2007 season despite losing their first trial game for the season. The senior colts will be looking for strength from senior players Will Sandford, Dustin Head, Jarrad Brock, Ryan Cornish, Chad Kennett and Jake Leske.
