Casey takes the lead

19/04/2008

CASEY-SOUTH Melbourne Cricket Club turned to former St Kilda and Adelaide winger/half-back flanker James Begley last night (Wednesday) to boost its 2007-08 fortunes.
Begley now works for Leading Teams, a company that specialises in the delivery of teamwork and leadership programs for elite sporting and corporate organisations.
In particular, he will help develop a performance improvement model for the club, which suffered through a bleak debut season at Casey Fields in 2006-07.
Casey-South Melbourne also held its second training session for its development squad at Sportsworx Sports Cricket Centre in Narre Warren on Sunday.
