The six boys and six girls from the junior soccer club have been chosen to present the medals to the grand final winners and yes as one they are hoping it will be to their Newcastle Jets heroes rather than the Melbourne Victory players.
The honour is recognition of a huge dedication and work by the entire Lochinvar Rovers club in developing a program for their youngsters to thrive and enjoy their sport.
“Lochinvar were given the opportunity because very soon we will be the only club in Australia to have level 3 FFA accreditation,” club spokesperson Lisa Duhig said.
“We are all very excited. The kids are over the moon.”
McDonald Jones Stadium will be a full house for Saturday’s A-League grand final between Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory.
The final allocation of tickets were gone minutes into the general public sale on Monday afternoon, after members snapped up 20,000 spots during Sunday’s pre-sale.
Earlier on Monday, a second pre-sale also sold-out within minutes.
