Acting National President, Nick Shiells and Mark Stennett at RMIT University’s “Clubs Day” in Saigon on Thursday.

Swannies Mark Stennett and Nick Shiells took footy to the students of RMIT University in Saigon on Thursday. Mark tells us more below.

The Vietnam Swans were very pleased to have been asked to set up a stall at yesterday’s “Clubs’ Day” at RMIT University in Saigon.

Although the Vietnam Swans are not an official RMIT Club, it showed the fantastic relationship we have with RMIT whereby they wanted us there to present our great game to the students.

We were more than happy to attend.

Myself and Saigon President (who is currently acting National President), Nick Shields, attended on behalf of the Swans with the aim of showcasing what the Swans have to offer and hopefully sign up a few local recruits.

Whilst knowledge of our great game was not strong, interest was high as we kicked the Sherrin around so the students could showcase their form… and there was definitely some encouraging talent out there!

With a new list of recruits we hope to see some fresh faces at training in the coming weeks.
