Whilst the recent wet weather has slowed the progress with the new drainage installation on the playing field, the NCC staff and contractors have been busy completing the positioning of new cabling, poles and associated lighting upgrade at the Oval. 

The third of the 4 new light pole foundations
was completed yesterday, with just the foundation at the north western
corner left to be finished.

The new cabling is almost complete, and
yesterday saw the delivery of the 4 new light poles, ready for their
assembly.

Head Coach, Peter McGuinness would like to announce his Senior Coaching Staff for the upcoming season, 2019:

• Under 20s Coach- Daniel Dawkins. Daniel is an ex- Olympic Senior player, who moved back to Newcastle a couple of years ago following a teaching transfer to a local High School. Whilst in Sydney, he played and coached there.  Daniel was a coach of our Under 18s for the last two years, and his calm demeanor and knowledge of the game will continue to be a great asset which is in line with the club policy of nurturing and developing our younger footballers.
• Under 18 Coach- Paul Devitis. Another ex- Olympic Senior player,  Paul has developed a great reputation over the last few years in working with emerging talented footballers. He will again be in charge of our under 18 Squad for the upcoming season.
• Football Manager- Greg Smith. The club are excited to have our longest serving ex- Coach, Greg Smith, back involved with the club. Greg was Olympic’s Head Coach for  a decade, from 1996 until the season 2005. During that time, we were Major Premiers in 4 successive years, from 1998 until 2001. Greg also coached Peter for a number of those years. Greg will be an adviser and mentor to all things football, bringing with him a wide knowledge of our sport.   Welcome back, Greg!!

Finally, our Under 20s coach of the last three years, Greg Asquith will be stepping back in his role at the club, due to work commitments. Greg fortunately won’t totally be lost to the club, as he will coach one of our Under 9 SAP teams.

Darling Street Oval was certainly a busy place last week, with the NCC staff
and their contractors busy getting the foundations ready for the erection of
the 4 new light poles and associated electrical works, while Trent and his
staff from Turfspec began the task of straightening the hill at the northern
end of the ground in preparation for the eventual moving of the playing
field, and also the installation of a complete new drainage system on the
playing surface.
All work is on track to be completed by the end of October, which would then
give the surface plenty of time for readiness for the 2019 football season.
