   I have a story concerning Donna Leary who was general ‘orangeboy’ etc for the East Devonport Football Club.

   It is a story of how in the 1950s-1970s you did not have to be the fittest, smartest or most athletic follower to be apreciated by your club. Donna had a slight intellectual disability but was dearly loved by his footclub, just as he loved them.

   Can you tell me how to submit this story to you. (I have it published in the Launceston Examiner so hope it would pass your publishing criteria)
