The start of the N.T.F.L. 2009 Football Season for the East Devonport Football Club has been a good one! The Senior Team has won its first three games, showing that they will be good contenders for the Finals this Year. They have been assisted with Paupa New Guinean recruit Emmaus Wartovo, who has been in the Best Players for all three games. Emmaus’s exceptional speed, ball skills and goal kicking ability has proved to be a great asset for the East Devonport Football Club.
Emmaus’s good form so far this season, has him in contention to play in two representative games. If he performs well in the two games, he is likely to be selected in the Tasmanian U 23 side, which plays in a carnival in Adelaide in July. The best 25 players in this, carnival are then selected to play for Australia in an International game against Ireland, later in the year.
Emmaus has made lots of friends in his short time already at the Club. Emmaus is still adjusting to the 17 degree temperature and unfortunately he is to expect colder weather in the middle of the Season, with July and August temperatures to be around 12 degrees on a good day.
Since being in Tasmania, Emmaus has already experienced some good fishing, with a successful trip to Swansea on the East Coast of Tasmania. He has also mentioned that he can’t wait to see some snow and build his first ever snow man.
Emmaus is living with East Devonport Football Club identities, Peter and Pettina Borlini. He has settled in very well and is enjoying life in Tasmania.
