<div>A message from Anthony Luca:</div>
<div>"To All Of The Blue & White Nation Past And Present<BR>I do not like to dwell on the past and I don't like to issue appologies, in this letter I will briefly do both. The last few weeks have been hard on all of the Blue and White nation from the thirds to the prems, from our coaches to the blobs of old and our faithful fans. But this is not the end of our great nation, we are beaten but not broken. This is not a time to dwell on the battles lost. But a time to see that the war is far from over and that not every battle determines the outcome of the war. The nation needs it's strong to help hold up the injured; The old to cheer on the young; The wise to inform the kindered. With this comes my appology to the thirds and the womens teams for not giving you the support I regularly do, cursing up and down the side line,and yet I ask you to still come to practice to offer your support, that you still come to Abby to cheer on our nations warriors this Saturday and to let them know a nation is behind them.<BR>For the people that make the choice to include the nation with your families and other friends this Easter weekend, I thank you. And to show it I will make feast for all to enjoy this Thursday. Turkey dinner with all the fixins, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and dinner rolls. </div>
<div>Come this Thursday after training and show the the strength of our nation, enjoy the company of your team, your friends, your fellow warriors and the people of our nation.The cost of dinner on Thursday will be $10 a plate and leftovers will be first come/first serve with your original plate.<BR>LONG LIVE THE BLUE & WHITE<BR><BR>Yours truly Anthony Luca"</div>
