Coach Mark – Our team this year, played in great spirits. 2 new players fitted in extremely well. We had a strong start to the season leading up to a great game against our own purple team mid-season. A high point for us, continuing a great rivalry over the past couple of seasons. Mid-season we stumbled with 2 narrow losses. Heading to the semifinals we were playing strong, but the wet weather had other plans for us and we finished equal 4th and missed the semi’s by a narrow margin. Very proud to coach a great group of boys supported by a great Parents.
We have an amazing team of parents, grandparents & siblings who have supported our team each week. Every family has contributed by scoring matches, helping with game day set up & pack up,
