BHFNC sincerely thanks Tim Currie for his tenure as our Match Day Manager for the senior men’s games. Tim oversaw the important role of ensuring all match day activities went off without a hitch. Tim did this with his usual calmness and made sure all volunteers felt valued and appreciated.
Taking over from Tim will be Jason Davis. Jason’s transition into this role is almost natural as his support of Tim has been nothing short of outstanding over the past 3 years.
Tim will not be missing from our club as he is insistent that he will still be actively involved and for that we are most thankful as there aren’t too many better blokes at our club than Timmy!!! Good luck Jason and thank you so much Timmy!!!
Greg Hannon, Senior President

“Playing for team motherhood”: Returning to team sport after childbirth
“Motherhood and a decrease in physical activity participation often go hand in hand. Specifically, early motherhood is a time when women have some of their lowest rates of sport participation. This is a problem, because during the postnatal period (up to 1 year after giving birth) women are at high risk of drastic weight gain, postpartum depression, isolation and anxiety. While physical changes that affect sport participation are well-addressed, how postnatal women re-engage in sport is also affected by gendered expectations accompanying motherhood. These expectations include gender roles dictating how mothers “should” behave. Another expectation is intensive mothering, that is, the expectation that mothers must prioritize their child’s needs over their own. These expectations both decrease mothers’ physical activity levels and also weaken their emotional and physical well-being”. Learn more……..
