 New
committee to lead Lions resurgence

PLFC MEDIA RELEASE
A new
Committee has been elected to revive the fortunes of the
Preston Lions Football Club following an Extraordinary
General Meeting last week.
The new-look Committee includes several young members who
will look to inject a youthful perspective and fresh ideas
to help reinvigorate the club from the ground up.
New president, Pece Siljanovski, is excited by the influx
of youth into the committee and said that this is the
first step in leading the club to a more positive future.
“We now have the youngest committee the club has ever had
and we hope this will inspire our members, sponsors,
supporters and the community to rally behind the club and
provide their support both on and off the field,” said
Siljanovski.
Significantly, the new Committee also includes the club’s
first ever female Vice President in Cathy Dafoski who will
also double as the club’s Juniors Coordinator.
Meanwhile, the immediate attention of the Committee will
be to work closely with senior coach Nick Cuculeski and
bolster the squad during the mid-season registration
period.
“Obviously our aim for the remainder of the year is to do
absolutely everything possible to ensure that we remain in
State League Division 1 next season, and we have absolute
faith in Nick’s ability to deliver that objective,” said
Siljanovski.
“The current playing group is probably the youngest ever
in the club’s history and there is definitely some
exciting talent there, but we know that we must strengthen
the squad to give ourselves the best possible chance of
survival. At the moment we are working day and night to
sign a number of new players before the mid-season
registration period closes next Wednesday.”
The new Committee structure to remain in place until the
next Annual General Meeting later this year will be as
follows:
• President – Pece Siljanovski
• Vice President (Juniors) – Cathy Dafoski
• Treasurer – Alex Sandev
• Secretary – Sash Dodevski
• Football Operations – Bobby Mircevski
• Sponsorship & Marketing – Tome Stojanovski
• Match Day Operations – Mendo Dimovski
Non-Committee volunteers:
• Kosta Gracievski (Council Delegate), Chris Terpos and
Robert Kolevski
Siljanovski also said they are seeking to co-opt several
new members to fulfill various other volunteer Committee
positions at the club immediately.
“At the present time we are only a small group and as
volunteers it is extremely difficult to do everything that
needs to be done with only 7 or 8 people. I urge anyone
who can devote 4-5 hours per week to help in areas like
marketing, sponsorship, fundraising, events, media,
communications, match day operations and administration,
to come on board and join with us. Don’t stand back, we
want you to come along for this exciting ride and help
make a positive contribution!”
Those interested in offering their help are encouraged to
contact Pece Siljanovski on 0425 821 634 or via email
Preston.Lions.FC@gmail.com.
The Lions’ next home game is this coming Sunday the 27th
of June against Langwarrin at B.T. Connor Reserve
(kick-off at 3:00pm).
