Yering District Archers were proud to see Stanley Glenister, aged eight years old, become the proud winner of the Lilydale Village ‘Most Valued Player’ award.
Stanley has been a member of Yering District Archers for about two years, a family orientated sport that he enjoys participating in with his grandfather Bill Mackieson, along with receiving friendly, ongoing support and coaching from his peers.
“Congratulations to Stanley who started as a ‘Come N Try’ and now is a valued member of Yering District Archers,” Bill Mackieson said.
As the winner, he was presented with a Rebel Sport voucher worth $2000 for the club and $100 voucher for his personal use.
It was a most impressive win not only because of his age but because of the talent and clubs he was up against in Lilydale.
Yering District Archers were most fortunate to receive a grant of $5000 for an equipment update from the Federal MP Tony Smith.
This was presented to the club by Mr Aaron Violi, the endorsed candidate to replace Tony Smith, in the electorate of Casey.
“We are most grateful to Tony Smith and Aaron Violi for their support to our community,” Mr Mackieson said.
The archery club welcomes all ages to their ‘Come N Try’ sessions each Saturday morning from 10am to 11am.
Bookings can be made through yda.tidyhq.com, go to events and register. The cost of these sessions is only $15 which includes all equipment and coaching.
